Nutria damage is no joke! The biggest impact made by Nutria is to marsh. They can quickly convert productive grassy marsh into unproductive open water by attacking the very structure that holds the marsh together, the vegetative root mat. Once Nutria chew through a mat and expose mud, tidal currents and wave action lead to erosion. The pitted marsh surface sinks and vegetation is lost to flooding.
