The resolution introduced by Rep. Cavitt designates May 31 to June 8, 2025, as Great Lakes and Fresh Water Week in Michigan. It highlights Michigan's unique position as the Great Lakes State, emphasizing its vast freshwater resources, which include 20% of the world's fresh water, over 11,000 inland lakes, extensive rivers and streams, and significant wetlands. The resolution underscores the importance of these water resources for various state industries, including agriculture, tourism, and manufacturing, as well as their critical role in the health and well-being of Michiganders.

The resolution calls for a collaborative approach to managing Michigan's water resources, involving local, state, and federal partners, and encourages residents to engage with and learn about the Great Lakes and freshwater ecosystems. It aims to promote awareness of the economic and environmental significance of these resources, fostering a water-literate workforce and supporting the state's economy.
