Nice.
Tidal power only works where the geography is right. A bay with a choke point to the ocean, like this one, is needed.

Or the mouth of an estuary, or an underwater shelf where currents are forced up or down, or any stretch of water with sufficiently high tidal ranges etc.
There are plenty of places where water is naturally under pressure, tidal power is definitely something we should be pushing for more as a species.
