Always wondered what happened to the duck... Like with tidal, it depends on the scale. There is a potential, environmental impact of soaking up the energy of those two forces. Waves are crucial to certain organisms, as is tidal flux. Use them on a large enough scale and you have an environmental impact. This is similar to ocean thermal energy conversion. When you tap cold water low in the water column and warm water at the top, and generate electricity by the temperature difference. No problem, and there can even be benefits by bringing up the nutrients in the colder water. But if it is done on a large enough scale in a small enough area, then problems can occur. It is always a question of scale. If the idea is to produce "power parks" where an attempt is made to generate the most power in the smallest area, then there will be environmental problems.
