Summary

Designating March 6 as Great Lakes Day would recognize and promote efforts to protect the Great Lakes and Lake St. Clair. The resolution highlights the lakes as the largest surface freshwater system in the United States, holding over 90 percent of U.S. freshwater and more than 20 percent of the world's fresh surface water, supplying drinking water for over 40 million people, and supporting a $3.1 trillion regional economy and more than 25 million jobs while urging accelerated conservation and support for programs like the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative.
