Expressing support for the designation of the week of September 21 through September 28, 2024, as "National Estuaries Week".

HRES 1423 expresses the U.S. House of Representatives' support for designating the week of September 21-28, 2024, as "National Estuaries Week." The resolution highlights estuaries' economic and ecological importance, noting they support over 3.5 million jobs, contribute $476 billion to the U.S. GDP, and provide critical services like flood control and water filtration. It does not create new laws or funding but aims to raise public awareness about protecting estuaries, which face threats like pollution and habitat loss. The resolution acknowledges ongoing restoration efforts by federal, state, tribal, and community partners.
