lasted into the 1980s. However the increased number of fishing boats caused stocks of groper, cod, and rock lobster off the coast of North Otago to be seriously decline. The government reintroduced controls in 1979 and imposed a moratorium on the issue of new licences. To manage fish stocks the Fisheries Amendment Act (1986) introduced the Quota Management System (QMS), which imposes catch limits, and regulates fishing methods, areas, and timing of those activities. At the time when the QMS was introduced there were over 30 local fishermen operating small day boats out of Moeraki Harbour, with their catch being processed locally. However, in response to the QMS the major fishing companies began purchasing as much quota as they could. Poor catches of rock lobster in the 1990s impacted on the financial viability of many Moeraki based owner-operators, who sold off their quota to fund their other fishing activities and maintain their boats. Many sold their quota of rock lobster to Ngai Tahu Fisheries which processed its catch in Dunedin, thus reducing seafood processing employment opportunities at Moeraki.

iron piles, which were prefabricated in England. It was found that the piles could not be persuaded to screw into the sea bed, which meant it was necessary to hammer them in. Dogged by construction difficulties, accidents and poor weather it took over a year to construct the wharf. Upon its completion in 1873 it was found that it was too high for use by smaller vessels, which were forced to use the existing wharf. Even so, the port was busy with materials being imported to construct the new branch railway line. In 1875 as part of the preparations to abolish the Provincial Council Moeraki was allowed to have establish its own harbour board. This made the port more popular but at the same time the increased traffic reduced the road to the port to an almost impassable state. In 1874 the cutter

bays were popular with swimmers they were also a favourite haunt of sharks. Following one fatal shark attack and the rescue by three men of a woman whose dinghy had overturned it was decided to build some seawater baths. The government gave approval for funds left by the now defunct Harbour Board to be used to pay for the facility. The baths were constructed between the wharf and railway by enclosing a shallow part of the bay and opened on 28 December 1888. A crowd of 3,000 attended the opening. However over time their popularity declined which lead to the abandonment of the facility after its walls were breached by waves in 1912./> Local children continued to use remaining parts of the facility up until the 1930s.

to Katiki Point. The geology is sandstone / mudstone and volcanic material. The peninsula with the exception of two small areas of indigenous bush is mostly covered in pasture or scattered scrub. The village of Moeraki is located along the sheltered northern bays with a small fishing port with wharf and slipway structures located at its eastern end in the lee of Moeraki Point. On the eastern facing side of the peninsula there are two small kaiks (crib style settlements) in the north facing bays adjacent to Tikoraki Point (accessed via Te Kirata Rd) and Tawhiroko Point respectively (accessed via Kaika Rd and known as the Kaika). Just north of Tikoraki Point is the small half-hectare island of Maukiekie.

constructed along the seashore in order to connect with its terminus station which was built near the wharf. However, from the time it opened slips were a constant problem. In 1878 a number of the piles were carried 4 ft (1.2 m) away from their position by land movement. Improvements to the port facilities at Oamaru, which saw it taking more trade coupled with the cost of constant maintenance and unreliability of the branch line led to it being closed and the rails removed in October 1879. From that date onwards Moeraki was served by a railway station in the form of a covered goods shed at Hillgrove on the Main South Railway Line.

In the same year that the wharf was completed moorings suitable for 600 to 700 tons ships were laid out in the bay at the seven-fathom mark. While Moeraki had the best natural harbour in North Otago with its inner roadstead partly protected by a bluff, by 1869 the existing wharf was in poor condition and as it didn't extend far enough out to sea there were restrictions on the size of ships that could use it.

away to avoid the persecution. Whaling ceased around 1847, although there was later a brief revival. Even so, some of the whalers stayed, making their living from fishing, and farming small plots of land. In 1844 it was reported that there were 17 Europeans were living at Moeraki, 11 living with Māori women and between them 13 children. While the whalers had trouble with raising pigs, to supplement their diet they had more luck with goats which they keep penned up on Maukiekie Island (which since then has been known locally as Goat Island). The island was also nesting place for

While the area had much to recommend, he considered that while its bay was a suitable anchorage for small draught coastal vessels it would not be suitable for the deeper draught of immigrant vessels. He continued his southwards journey and eventually selected Otago Harbour as being better suited for the settlement. As the rewards from whaling declined by 1848 the number of Europeans had dropped to at least 13, but among them was a Mrs Skidmore, who is believed to have been the first woman to reside in North Otago. 1041:
