Nutria Eradication and Control Reauthorization Act of 2025

This legislation renews a federal program that helps states get rid of nutria—large, invasive, semi‑aquatic rodents that tear up wetlands—and fix the marshes they damage. It extends the program through fiscal year 2030 and lets the Department of the Interior give financial help to states for both eradication and marsh restoration. The measure is called the Nutria Eradication and Control Reauthorization Act of 2025.

Key points:

• Who is affected: States and local communities dealing with nutria, especially in marsh and coastal areas; landowners, farmers, and wildlife habitats harmed by wetland loss.
• What changes: Continues federal funding so states can remove nutria and restore damaged marshland.
• When: Program is reauthorized through fiscal year 2030.
