I have a critter in my hulls over the winter. It's covers but I leave the plugs out and compartment lids off for ventilation. The critter broke apart the styrofoam that was in there. There were pieces everywhere. I have cleaned it all out. Should I be worried about the foam being gone? Is there a repair option? There are no apparent holes from the critter in the hulls themselves.

Only if you punch a hole in the boat and start to sink...the purpose of the foam is to provide flotation in the event that the hull is damaged and floods.
Pool noodles would be a reasonable substitute.

Probably not a big deal. My Nacra 5.2 is fibreglass only, no foam at all.
