The Story of the Tiger Shark
“Many people cringe at the very thought of encountering a Tiger shark, yet the truth is Tiger sharks are one of the most cautious and personable species in the ocean. Due to this undeserved bad reputation, shark finning, sports fishing and the dangers of nets and longline fisheries, the Tiger shark population is now at threat with becoming endangered. It is our hope that with this partnership we can educate and raise awareness to support this shark, which is so important to our ocean’s ecosystem. The newest addition to the collaboration, the tiger shark pattern was created from the stripes of one of our favorite Tiger sharks, “Curly Girl,” utilizing biomimicry (copying nature’s designs) to mimic natural camouflage and also appear more like an apex predator. We appreciate your efforts continuing the fight to “#HelpSaveSharks.”

The Story of the Whale Shark
“Did you know whale sharks are now an endangered species? Sadly, these gentle giants are being killed at unsustainable rates, mainly for shark fin soup. The whale shark’s beautiful pattern and great size, they are the largest shark species, makes them a coveted target of the shark fin soup industry. Truly tragic, since these giant filter feeders are one of the most peaceful, docile, and, in my opinion, most beautiful shark species. Their killing is also wrongheaded: The global economic value of a live whale shark far outweighs the value of its fins in the shark fin soup trade. Eco-tourism is sustainable and has multi-level benefits to local economies and the environment. Please help support responsible eco-tourism that supports research and responsible boating through their known aggregation sites. Mahalo (thank you) for purchasing this suit and becoming a voice for these voiceless, beautiful giants of the sea.”

The Story of the Lady Shark
“Sharks are the most threatened species on the planet. They are also one of the most misunderstood, being widely seen as nothing more than mindless monsters. But the reality is that sharks are intelligent, generally cautious, and extremely non-confrontational. In fact, more people die from coconuts, drowning and insect bites every year than shark bites. In contrast, humans kill 70 to 100 million sharks every year, causing the collapse of fisheries and reef ecosystems around the globe. It’s a shame since sharks are vital to the health of our oceans, functioning as their immune system by picking off the dead, dying, weak, sick, and injured animals to keep diseases from spreading. And healthy oceans are critical to healthy humans: approximately 70% of our oxygen comes from the ocean. I hope this piece inspires you to give sharks a deeper look and provides an opportunity to raise awareness and educate others to the truth about sharks and their importance. Mahalo (thank you) for speaking up for those without a voice and helping us highlight a majestic beauty of our marine life.” – Ocean Ramsey
