Senate to support 'National Estuaries Week' for waterway awareness

The Senate would formally support 'National Estuaries Week' from September 20-27, 2025. This aims to increase public awareness among all Americans and government officials about the importance of healthy estuaries. The resolution would highlight how estuaries support jobs, the economy, and protect communities.

What Would Change

Today, there is no formal Senate resolution specifically supporting 'National Estuaries Week' for September 20-27, 2025. If this bill becomes law, the Senate would formally back this designation. This would mean the Senate publicly acknowledges the importance of estuaries for the economy, jobs, and environmental protection, and expresses its intent to continue working on their preservation.
