Senate of Pennsylvania
Session of 2017 - 2018 Regular Session

MEMORANDUM

Posted: May 14, 2018 09:43 AM
From: Senator Gene Yaw
To: All Senate members
Subject: “Chesapeake Bay Awareness Week” - June 3rd-9th, 2018
 
I plan to introduce a resolution designating the week of June 3-9, 2018 as “Chesapeake Bay Awareness Week” in Pennsylvania.

The Chesapeake Bay is the largest and most productive bay in the United States, which spans across six States and the District of Columbia. The Susquehanna River provides 50 percent of the fresh water to the Bay and its watershed covers half of our Commonwealth.

Tributaries of the Chesapeake Bay provide an important source of drinking water and recreational fishing and boating for Pennsylvanians. By promoting the water quality in Pennsylvania, the overall health of the Bay will continue to improve, and vice versa.

All residents of Pennsylvania are encouraged to commemorate Chesapeake Bay Awareness Week with events and educational programs designed to increase the awareness of the importance of the Chesapeake Bay to Pennsylvania, the region, and the United States.

Please join me in recognizing this important national treasure.

Thank you for your consideration.
