An environmental documentary about Nutria, cousin of the Muskrat, and the effects of the environment and how one can reuse the Nutria as a sustainable economic resource.

The Myocastor Coypus, commonly known as Nutria, is a ruthless destroyer of marshland. This invasive species was imported to Louisiana from South America in the early 1800's for their fur. At a whopping 20-30 pounds, this rodent is an herbivore that heartily enjoys the grassy roots of marshes along Louisiana's gulf coast. Unbeknownst to these furry creatures, however, its habits are destroying the Louisiana coastline. This seven minute environmental documentary shines a light on the history of Nutria in Louisiana, how they are impacting the environment, and what some folks have done to eradicate the problem.
