Advocate Apparel Inspired by the largest fish in the sea, the whale shark (Rhincodon typus)

Whale sharks (Rhincodon typus) are fish, not whales - allowing them to hold the esteemed title of "largest fish in the sea" (since sharks are fish too!). These charismatic creatures can reach lengths of 12 meters (40 feet) or more! Despite their large size, they feed on some of the smallest organisms in the sea, plankton. Hanging vertically in the water column they're able to suction feed and filter these tiny organisms through their gill rakers much like a giant vacuum cleaner pulls dust and dirt from a kitchen floor, filtering the fragments into its chamber within.

Unfortunately, approximately 100 million sharks are killed every year by humans, through direct targeted fishing efforts as well as unintended bycatch from other fisheries. The whale shark is one species of shark that is particularly vulnerable to this commercial fishing due to their high value in international trade, in addition to their highly migratory nature and normally low abundance. Research into the lives of these gentle giants can help us to manage their populations and keep these magnificent fish in the ocean where they belong.

5% of sales from your purchase of this product are donated to the Marine Megafauna Foundation

The Marine Megafauna Foundation is helping to shed light on the population structure, migratory patterns, and the conservation requirements of these threatened sharks. Created in 2009, they aim to research, protect and conserve the large populations of marine megafauna (large marine species) found along the Mozambican coastline. Almost all whale sharks encountered by divers are juveniles and most are males. Where the school-bus-sized mature sharks swim, what they eat, and where the females give birth has long been a mystery, however their team is now very close to making these discoveries. 5% of sales from your purchase will go to the Marine Megafauna Foundation for satellite tags that are needed to track the movements of these large female whale sharks.

“Waterlust's support provides critical seed funding for us to rapidly develop and implement whale shark conservation projects in areas where this globally-endangered species is most at risk. This includes Mozambique, where our research and awareness work helped the government decide to fully protect whale sharks just a few weeks ago. We love working with a company that is so committed to making a positive change in the world.”

Recommend to anyone who will listen.

Not only does Waterlust have incredible products, this company has the most incredible morals that I have ever seen from a company. A little over a year ago, I lost my home in a fire, and with it I lost all of my belongings (including quite a few Waterlust products). After the fire, I had a hard time replacing my belongings. Waterlust REACHED OUT TO ME and offered to replace EVERYTHING I had ever purchased from them. They said they reached out to everyone with an address in my town that was lost and wanted to see if they could help. It is things like this that will make me a forever fan, and recommend companies to anyone who will listen. I love this company and their products. You can feel good knowing you are purchasing items that contribute to helping the ocean, and that the team behind it all is also dedicated to helping people. THANK YOU WATERLUST!!

Nicest top I could find

I searched and searched for a functional top as a large breasted woman. I needed something to work! Not look sexy and then fall apart. This top looks good, covers well, and gives support. I love the styling. It's classy.

The Sizing Chart is so so wrong

The size chart is really wrong and unfortunately I bought this two weeks before a four week vacation, so by the time I got back and did laundry, the tag had been removed and the exchange window closed. It is super sad because I love the product and material, but it squeezes the life out of me and makes it hard to breathe so I can’t wear it. Size up!

The best!

This is so cute and super comfy. The size chart was also right on point for me (size S for 32D). I can't wait to order more!

LOVE! LOVE! LOVE!

This has become my new favorite top for not only surfing and diving but also jujitsu and yoga too! It’s comfortable, high quality material and doesn’t have those annoying bra pads (but it’s thick material and doesn’t need it). I’m going to purchase more styles for sure!
