I'm not sure if this has been mentioned, however at Digby in Nova
Soctia there is a tidal powered geenerator and it has been on
line for (AFAIK) over 15 years. It dams a natural river mouth
and generates power 4 cycles per day (2 out / 2 in. ... not in
that order!) As the tides there range from a few meters to about
10 meters or more (lunar phase) the amount of stored/extracted
energy varies with the day and the hours.

My uncle says that a whole familly of bass has been wiped out by
that station.
