Tidal Lagoon Power are giving a talk about the work they are doing on the world’s first tidal lagoon project, which has planning permission in Swansea Bay.  It’s a 10km loop that will enclose an area of the tidal zone, and 4 times in each 24 hour period (as the tides go in and out again) a series of turbines embedded in the lagoon wall will generate electricity.  Its output will be equivalent to around 150,000 homes.
