Does tidal power kill fish?
Depends. It certainly can do; an example of a tidal power project potentially destructive to the marine environment is the proposed Severn Barrage, which basically dams the Severn estuary between England and Wales. There are also completely non-invasive ways of producing tidal power, such as the the 'snakes' which float on the water off the coast of Portugal (see link). As yet these more advanced methods are less effective though.

What is the most important river in England?
The Severn is the longest river and the Thames is probably the most important, being that it flows through London. Historically, economically and in terms of navigability, the most important river is the Severn, followed by the Trent, then the Ouse. The Thames is the 4th most important river.
Where will you build the severn barrage?
The latest proposal (2011) is for a privately-financed barrage between Lavernock Point and Brean Down - just upstream from the two islands that sit in the estuary.
How does the Severn barrage work?
The Barrage would work by allowing the incoming tide to pass though gates in the barrage and holding the water as the tide retreats, when the water level on the seaward side of the barrage is low enough the water held behind the barrage would be released and passed through turbines to generate electricity.
