This resolution expresses support for designating the week of September 20 through September 27, 2025, as "National Estuaries Week." It emphasizes the significant economic contributions of estuaries, noting they contain nearly 40 percent of the U.S. population and jobs, and contribute substantially to the nation's gross domestic product. The resolution highlights that the estuarine and ocean economy is a major job creator, supporting industries like commercial and recreational fishing. Estuaries are recognized for providing vital habitats for numerous fish and wildlife species, including a large percentage of commercial and recreational fish catches, and serving as critical stopovers for migratory and endangered species. They also offer essential ecosystem services such as water filtration, flood control, and shoreline stabilization, protecting coastal communities from extreme weather events. The resolution acknowledges persistent threats to estuaries, including degradation, pollution, harmful algal blooms, and the impacts of sea level changes. The House of Representatives supports the goals of National Estuaries Week and applauds the efforts of various organizations and public partners involved in estuary protection and restoration. It affirms the importance of scientific study , preservation, and restoration of these critical environments. The resolution concludes with the House's intent to continue working towards understanding, protecting, and restoring the estuaries of the United States.
