In recognition of National Estuaries Day, Gov. Corbett this week issued a commendation expressing his gratitude to Restore America’s Estuaries and the Chesapeake Bay Foundation for their efforts to preserve Pennsylvania natural resources.

The text of the commendation follows--

It is my pleasure to join with Restore America’s Estuaries in support of National Estuaries Day in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.  I express my gratitude to all those who have joined together in support of this cause.  

RAE’s mission is to preserve the nation’s network  of estuaries by protecting and restoring the lands and waters essential to the richness and diversity of coastal life.  I commend everyone involved with RAE and the Chesapeake Bay Foundation for their efforts to preserve Pennsylvania’s natural resources and encourage citizens to explore the Commonwealth’s natural beauty.  I hope this day is  successful in promoting the importance of estuaries.

As Governor, and on behalf of all Pennsylvanians, I am pleased to support National Estuaries Day in Pennsylvania.  Please accept my best wishes for a successful and memorable day.

A copy of the commendation is available online.
