Expressing support for the designation of February 9, 2025, as the first ever "Gulf of America Day" and celebrating the importance of changing the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.

Summary

Declares that the United States Continental Shelf area formerly called the Gulf of Mexico is to be commemoratively referred to as the “Gulf of America” and notes the President’s signing of an executive order effecting that renaming and his visit to the area. The resolution is a symbolic statement recognizing the renaming and the President’s actions and does not create funding, regulatory changes, or binding legal authority over official geographic naming. The text describes the area’s geographic bounds (coasts of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida and seaward toward Mexico and Cuba) and calls for commemoration of the renaming and the President’s visit; it contains no implementation instructions or budgetary provisions.
