A resolution designating August 2024 as "National Catfish Month".

This Senate resolution (SRES 802) designates August 2024 as "National Catfish Month" to recognize the U.S. catfish industry. It highlights the industry's economic impact - supporting nearly 10,000 jobs and generating over $1.9 billion in annual output - and emphasizes that U.S. farm-raised catfish is the largest domestic seafood product by weight. The resolution also acknowledges workers in the industry and the sustainability of U.S. catfish production. As a ceremonial resolution, it has no legal effect but serves to honor the industry's contributions.
