We have debate around this in New Zealand
The problem here is you have a large body of water that is a huge and significant nursery for fish, and the best place for the turbine is where the water narrows.
If the turbine is a barrier to the fish, (and who knows?), then important fisheries may well collapse
This is an objection that needs to be taken seriously and investigated, so I was disappointed that the article did not address effects on marine life.
Personally I think that the turbines and marine life can co-exist, but we need facts, not reckons
