Recognizing February 2, 2025, as World Wetlands Day

This is a non-binding symbolic resolution (K 77) recognizing February 2, 2025, as World Wetlands Day in New York State. It does not create new laws or affect any specific group; instead, it formally acknowledges the international observance marking the anniversary of the Ramsar Convention. The resolution highlights wetlands' ecological importance, including flood protection (citing Hurricane Sandy damage prevention) and their role in biodiversity. Its purpose is educational, urging the state to "instill educational tenets" about wetland conservation through public recognition.
