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.

Does Australia use tidal power?

Australia has the potential for tidal power generation, but currently, there are no operational tidal power plants in the country. Research and pilot projects have been carried out to explore the potential of tidal energy as a renewable energy source in Australia, but commercial-scale deployment is still in the early stages.
