Created with Captains For Clean Water, the limited-edition release supports their mission to advance Everglades restoration through every purchase
New Smyrna Beach, FL (June 16, 2026) – Bajío Sunglasses has partnered with Captains For Clean Water on its latest Temples of Change collaboration, a limited-edition collection designed to support Everglades restoration and the fisheries, communities, and outdoor traditions that depend on clean water. Through the collection, $20 from every frame sold will be donated to Captains For Clean Water, giving anglers and outdoor enthusiasts a direct way to support the waters they fish, boat, and explore.
Temples of Change is Bajío’s ongoing collaboration series that supports organizations working to protect the shallows, fisheries, and outdoor traditions that bring people together. Each release features artwork inspired by a partner’s mission, with a portion of proceeds helping fund conservation efforts on the water.
The collection features two exclusive frame designs inspired by the waters and species that make clean water worth protecting. The Sigs frames feature Captains For Clean Water’s signature rope and knot design paired with the signature Bajío laurel on the outer temple in a matte finish. The Stiltsville frames showcase a bold tarpon illustration on the outer temple in a black gloss finish, celebrating one of the iconic species that depends on healthy waterways and thriving fisheries.
“Protecting clean water isn’t just good for fish—it’s critical for the communities, cultures, and outdoor experiences that depend on it,” said Al Perkinson, Founder of Bajio. “Captains For Clean Water has been doing important work to support Everglades restoration and protect the future of our fisheries for years, and we’re proud to partner with them on a collaboration that gives our customers an opportunity to be part of that effort.”
Founded by fishing guides during South Florida’s 2016 water crisis, Captains For Clean Water has become one of the most influential voices supporting Everglades restoration and clean water advocacy. Through education, outreach, and policy engagement, the organization works to protect the fisheries, communities, and ecosystems that depend on healthy water.
“America’s Everglades is one of the most important ecosystems in the world, and its restoration depends on people who are willing to get involved,” said Captain Daniel Andrews, Co-Founder and CEO of Captains For Clean Water. “What makes this partnership special is that it gives people a tangible way to support that work. Through Temples of Change, Bajío has found a creative way to connect the stories, species, and waters we care about with conservation action that helps protect them.”
Only 600 frames will be produced as part of the limited-edition collection, with 300 Sigs frames and 300 Stiltsville frames available. Frames are offered with either poly or glass lenses and retail for $219 and $269 respectively. Available in readers, prescription, and non-prescription options, the collection launches June 18, 2026, and will be available at https://bajiosunglasses.com/pages/temples-of-change while supplies last.
