How is tidal enery collected?

Tidal energy is collected using tidal turbines and barrages. Tidal turbines function similarly to underwater wind turbines, harnessing the kinetic energy of moving water as tides rise and fall. Barrages, on the other hand, are large dams built across estuaries that capture the potential energy created by the difference in water levels between high and low tides. Both methods convert tidal energy into electricity, providing a renewable energy source.
