Kate Acland: Beef + Lamb Chair on the report on New Zealand's freshwater quality targets
Manage episode 430748552 series 2098280
It’s being suggested that New Zealand's freshwater quality targets are unworkable.
A Beef + Lamb-commissioned independent review shows more than a third of our rivers won't meet national sediments standards.
That's even if agriculture is removed and catchments are returned to their natural state.
Chair Kate Acland told Ryan Bridge they're asking for a pause to work on something more practical.
She says it's not trying to delay regulation —and acknowledges farming's impact on freshwater quality— but need an enduring framework to manage it.
