Tidal stream generator
Underwater turbine anchored to seabed, which uses strong tidal currents to generate electricity. The best places for tidal stream generators are narrow channels where the water reaches considerable speed at high tide. The blades of the underwater turbine rotate relatively slowly so that fish can pass through them.
