Abstract
The New Zealand government has been praised for heeding scientific advice in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, but when it comes to environmental protections the scientific advice seems to be negotiable. Freshwaters have been in decline for decades, despite clear science on limits needed to protect them. There are many examples of ‘shifting baselines’, where limits have been progressively weakened through agency regulatory capture and political expediency.
