Nutria Eradication and Control Reauthorization Act of 2025
This bill extends federal grant funding through 2030 to help states control and eradicate nutria, an invasive semi-aquatic rodent. These animals dig up marshes, destroy agricultural crops, and weaken flood-control levees. The funding allows state wildlife agencies to continue paying for trapping, monitoring, and wetland restoration programs that were scheduled to lose federal authorization after 2025.
