re: someone explain to me this Coastwide Nutria Control Program

---

Water hyacinth, water lettuce and sylvinia used to be somewhat managed by nutria

thats not true, at all

the damage caused by nutria is not by "eating vegetation"
its that they root/burrow in banks and sensitive marsh areas pulling up roots/tubers/etc...in otherwords, terrestrial, not floating, vegetation

just like pigs
