Introduced
Summary
National Estuaries Week: This bill would designate September 19–26, 2026 as National Estuaries Week to raise public and government awareness of estuary health and the need to protect and restore these ecosystems. It underscores that estuaries make up about 4 percent of U.S. land but support nearly 40 percent of the population, 39 percent of jobs, and 47 percent of GDP. The resolution highlights estuaries' roles in fisheries, water filtration, shoreline and storm protection, and job creation, and it commends federal, state, local, Tribal, and nonprofit partners working on restoration.
