Check Scientific American going back a ways. Maybe as much as 20
years. There was an article about the ecological effects of tidal
power. Even *one* "large" tidal power station has the potential to
change tide patterns for hundreds of miles which will change the
coastal ecosystems as well as affect things like harbors silting up
or not.
