Tidal energy exists whether anyone uses it or not. Asking whether it can harm sea life is rather pointless, as it has existed for at least hundreds of millions of years; sea life that can't deal with it died out long ago.
If you're asking if power plants based on tidal energy could hurt sea life... sure, it's possible. They can be designed to have as little impact as possible, but nothing is ever 100% safe. However, it's a tradeoff: the impact of tidal plants would almost certainly be less than, say, the British Petroleum oil well explosion in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010.

What are the limitations of using tidal energy?
Tidal energy is only available on the coast. Some locations are better than others for tidal energy because of the tidal range - for example, the North West of Australia has a very large tidal range.Converting tidal energy to electrical energy may require the construction of channels or barrages which may impact on the environment.
What are the effect on environment because of non conventional energy?
effect on enviroment by tidal energy
What is the purpose of tidal energy?
The purpose of tidal energy is to be used as a resource in hydropower, a renewable source of energy. Tidal energy can be created by barrages, fences, or turbines.
How can tidal energy be conserved?
Tidal Energy can be conserved by using offshore turbines rather than underwater turbines.
Which scource of energy would be the most economical and safest for the community to pursue?
Radiant energy is the safest energy for people and the environment.
How does Tidal Energy affect the environment?
It doesnt have any affects on the environment
What are the positive affects tidal energy do for the environment?
tidal energy is good because it is a renewable source that doesn't pollute the environment. It is often used to make electricity.

What are the effect on environment because of non conventional energy?
effect on enviroment by tidal energy
What is the history of tidal energy?
tidal energy is created by turbines that does make tidal power
Where does tidal energy be placed?
tidal energy is be placed in the sea
Good things about tidal?
The Good thing about tidal energy is that is a very clean for of energy. Tidal energy is also renewable. Tidal energy plants could be place along the coast.
Why do some environmental groups oppose tidal energy?
Environmental groups do not necessarily oppose use of tidal energy, but in some cases they oppose the location that is proposed to make use of the energy. The opposition is usually based on negative effects it would have on wildlife and the environment.
What is the purpose of tidal energy?
The purpose of tidal energy is to be used as a resource in hydropower, a renewable source of energy. Tidal energy can be created by barrages, fences, or turbines.
Is water energy tidal energy?
No.Water energy is a whale lot different than tidal energy.
What type of resources can tidal energy be put?
Tidal power, also called tidal energy, is a form of hydropower that converts the energy of tides into useful forms of power, mainly electricity. Tidal energy is a renewable energy source.
Tidal energy nonrenewable true or false?
True. Tidal energy is renewable energy source.
