S.Res. 393
This resolution designates September 25, 2025, as "National Lobster Day" to celebrate the lobster industry and its cultural significance in the United States. The measure recognizes lobstering as an economic driver that supports thousands of families through catching, processing, and serving lobsters, particularly in New England where the industry serves as a cornerstone of regional identity and tourism. The resolution highlights lobster's role in American culinary traditions dating back to the first Thanksgiving, its nutritional benefits as a lean protein source rich in omega-3 fatty acids, and the industry's leadership in sustainability practices for over 150 years. As a ceremonial resolution with no funding provisions, it simply encourages Americans to observe the designated day with appropriate ceremonies and activities while acknowledging the lobster industry's contributions to the economy, culture, and dining traditions across the country.
