Bill > HRes822

This resolution supports the designation of October 23, 2025, as "National Marine Sanctuary Day" by recognizing the significance of the National Marine Sanctuary System, a network of underwater parks that conserve important natural, historical, and cultural marine resources. The resolution highlights the critical role these sanctuaries play in protecting marine ecosystems, supporting coastal economies, providing recreational opportunities, and preserving maritime heritage. It emphasizes how national marine sanctuaries generate billions of dollars annually, support jobs in various sectors, serve as tourism destinations, and connect communities through science, education, and environmental stewardship. The resolution encourages Americans to visit and support these marine sanctuaries, acknowledges their importance in conservation and cultural preservation, and calls for federal agencies to work together to support the goals of the Marine Protection, Research, and Sanctuaries Act of 1972. By designating a specific day to celebrate these marine areas, the resolution aims to raise awareness about the value of protecting and appreciating the United States' underwater environments and maritime resources.
