A resolution to recognize June 29-July 5,2025, as Aquatic Invasive Species Awareness Week.
This symbolic Senate Resolution (SR 61) recognizes June 29-July 5, 2025, as "Aquatic Invasive Species Awareness Week" in Michigan. It does not create new laws or funding but formally acknowledges the threat invasive species pose to the state's Great Lakes, rivers, and recreational waterways. The resolution aims to raise public awareness about preventing invasive species spread - impacting over 900,000 boaters and Michigan's $1.4 billion water-dependent economy - through coordinated efforts with communities and organizations. As a non-binding resolution, it serves only as a formal recognition, not a policy change.
