2.5 - Nutria as emerging pests
Thoughts on Rice
02/26/25 • 14 min
In honor of National Invasive Species Awareness Week, Sarah Marsh Janish discusses the recent focus on nutria in California. Although this semi-aquatic mammal is not new to California, the surge in population and range across the state is of some concern, especially to those of us who work in the habitats they prefer to inhabit.
Report Nutria: "Suspected observations or potential signs of nutria in California should be photographed and immediately reported to CDFW ONLINE, by email to [email protected], or by calling (866) 440-9530."

Sarah Marsh Janish sat down with Tim Johnson, the President & CEO of the California Rice Commission, also known as the CRC. The CRC makes it their mission to support the family farmers and mills who have excelled for more than a century. This support looks like engaging in a number of comprehensive regulatory programs such as managing water quality programs, maintaining an active industry communications program, and coordinating wildlife habitat conservation programs.
Sarah and Tim discussed the role and mission of the California Rice Commission, its history, and its efforts to manage water quality, habitat conservation, and industry communications. They also explored the environmental impact of rice farming, the importance of rice fields for waterfowl habitat and shorebirds, and the potential for rice fields to contribute to the recovery of salmon runs. The conversation ended with a discussion on the California Rice Commission's role in promoting rice farming, its partnerships with organizations, and its focus on collaboration and resource efficiency.
