A Resolution designating the week of June 8 through 14, 2025, as "Chesapeake Bay Awareness Week" in Pennsylvania.
This resolution designates June 8-14, 2025, as "Chesapeake Bay Awareness Week" in Pennsylvania. It recognizes the Chesapeake Bay watershed’s importance to Pennsylvania - including its role in providing drinking water, supporting 348 fish species, contributing to the $500 million seafood harvest, and covering half the state’s land area - without creating new laws or funding. The resolution encourages Pennsylvanians to host educational events during this week to raise awareness about the bay’s ecological and economic value.
