We've wrapped our summer fundraiser fashion line, and we are so grateful for all those who participated. For those who didn't get a chance to get involved, we've got much more planned for the future! Stay tooned!

For those who missed it, here is more information on why ghost nets and upcycling them matters:

Turning the tide on the ghost net crisis and ocean plastic pollution.

Ghost nets, also known as abandoned, lost or otherwise discarded fishing gear (ALDFG), are a significant contributor to plastic pollution in the ocean. It is estimated that 640,000 tons of ghost nets are added to the ocean each year, entangling and killing marine life and shredding into particles that add to the oceans micro plastics.

SeaSweepers understands the severity of the issue and is committed to finding solutions to preserve earth's oceans and marine life. Our activewear and swimwear was crafted from unique eco-friendly material using 78% regenerated yarn created from upcycled ghost nets and 22% lycra, allowing the fit to be as soft and comfortable as it is meaningful. It also used skin safe and eco-friendly dyes and is sunscreen, oil, and chlorine resistant. Yep, it's really that cool.

In addition, as a US based company, we are working to keep things local, and all of our swimwear and activewear was hand crafted in Miami and custom made to order.
