I'm not going to get into a big discussion on this off-topic matter, but nobody credible that I know of claimed that the sea level "has since lowered".  I certainly don't.  The photograph was taken at low tide.*  The common claim is that sea level hasn't changed much.  Pretty simple.  The alternative, I suppose, is that the rocks have risen along with the ocean waters.

*Photo caption:  "The 1841 sea level benchmark (centre) on the `Isle of the Dead', Tasmania.  According to Antarctic explorer, Capt. Sir James Clark Ross, it marked mean sea level in 1841.  Photo taken at low tide 20 Jan 2004.  Mark is 50 cm across; tidal range is less than a metre."
