Out in the Field

Featured projects.

Every project has a story. Here are a few of our favorites, told by the people who made them.

Conservation partner
Havenworth Coastal Conservation

Sea turtles and manatees get a lot of love, but the smalltooth sawfish doesn't see much of the grant money. That's why we help Tonya and her sawfish research by supplying giveaways for her outreach events.
Every 3D sawfish figure carries a scannable QR code that takes people straight to her website.
Rice's whale · Since 2024
Our Gulf, Our Whale

The Our Gulf, Our Whale shirt was the very first design we created for the pilot festival in 2024. The crowd was small, but the day was a huge success, and the Rice's whale gained a few more fans.

The Florida Fishing Couple

We've followed their channel for years and love their content, and we love this couple even more. On a vacation to Key West we finally got to meet them and hit it off like old friends.
Together we came up with swag for the channel so fans around the globe can support Cat, Dan and Elizabeth. Their official gear comes through The Florida Nomad, with extra color choices for matching shirts and orders shipped straight to fans.

Fernandina Beach · Since 2021
Right Whale Festival

The Right Whale Festival is a family-friendly event celebrating the return of the critically endangered North Atlantic right whale, which migrates to the warm waters off northeast Florida and Georgia to give birth and nurse its young. With fewer than 380 left, the festival teaches visitors about threats like vessel strikes and fishing-gear entanglement, and simple ways to help, like slowing down and reporting sightings.
Expect life-size inflatable whales, over 100 exhibitor tents, live music, food trucks and local art, and we've been part of it every step of the way.
2021: vendor · 2022: vendor and sponsor · 2023: 400 festival shirts, 75 embroidered sweatshirts and 75 volunteer shirts · 2025: sponsor and vendor · 2026: Friends of the Festival sponsor

What our partners say

We couldn’t be happier with our partnership with Florida Nomad. As SeaMonkey Apparel continues to grow, they’ve grown right alongside us, helping us scale our printing needs without sacrificing quality. Their work on our shirts and accessories is always top-notch, but what really makes them special is that they understand what we’re all about. They support our mission of giving back to the community and have become more than just a print partner — they’re a team we’re genuinely proud to work with.

Team Momo
We were happy to make these shirts for Paralympic swimmer Momo Sutton. Momo was born in China, missing her right forearm due to amniotic band syndrome, and moved to the USA at 3½ after being adopted by her American parents. She started swimming right away to strengthen her right side, began competing at age 8, and recently swam in her first international Paralympic meet. Her goal is to make the Paralympic team! #teammomo #gomomogo
