The House Resolution proposes to designate June 30 to July 7, 2025, as Aquatic Invasive Species Awareness Week in Michigan. This initiative highlights the state's vulnerability to invasive species, particularly due to its extensive water bodies, including the Great Lakes and numerous inland lakes. Invasive species like Asian carp pose significant threats to native ecosystems, biodiversity, and the state's outdoor economy by disrupting food webs and endangering native fish species that are vital for recreational and commercial fishing.

The resolution emphasizes the importance of public awareness in combating the spread of aquatic invasive species. It calls on residents, businesses, and organizations to participate in raising awareness, reporting sightings, and taking preventive measures against these harmful species. The collaborative efforts of state and federal agencies, tribal governments, and nonprofit organizations are acknowledged as crucial in implementing strategies to protect Michigan's aquatic ecosystems.
