The exclusion zone is pretty massive. Got talking to a beach security guard hired because his cray boat lost its quota area near Motiti, he was spewing cause he was on minimum wage looking after a stinking deserted beach in the middle of the night! The government definitly wasnt working fast enough for him, reckons they'd relocate the quota to Mayor Island but nope, not yet. There's a lot of small time operators here that are probably fishing the same spot off Matakana, as well as the recreationals!
