Bipartisan Effort Underway to Help Eradicate Nutria in Louisiana, Elsewhere
Bipartisan legislation introduced by Sens. John Kennedy (R-La.) and Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) aims to protect coastal wetlands from an invasive species.
According to a news release from Kennedy’s office, their legislation would amend the Nutria Eradication and Control Act, authorizing an additional $8 million a year for states in the fight against nutria. It also makes financial assistance proportional to the total area of a state that is affected by nutria.
