Open circles denote aerial-access survey estimates, closed circles recreational kilogram per trip indices scaled to the geometric mean of the aerial-access estimates, solid curved lines denote exponential fits to the scaled kilogram per trip indices which were used to predict harvests for those years for which creel survey data were not available, and dashed lines denote linear interpolations between 1990 and 1970 (when harvests were assumed to be at 70% of that predicted for 1990). https://www.goodfishing.nz/blog/whats-going-on-with-the-reefs monthly 0.5 2021-07-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb8327854f24d5a74367e6d/1611551371502-EKYOVZ1HCKKCU6GEU5EK/TiriOrtho_lo.jpg Blog - What’s going on with the reefs? - Make it stand out A barren on north side of Tiri, with remnant kelp forest.

So there’s no doubt the ecosystem was in better shape back then. This photo was not of course pre-European—it was shot in the Bay of Islands, about 1910.
