    There’s been a lot of research into this area because many people, yourself included, can see there’s energy to be had. From what I remember from classes on it, the issues with capturing power from waves has most to do with ecosystem damage and scalability. Not to mention, they’re build on waterways which are already being used for things like fishing and shipping.

      I’ve helped people who where working on a project of wave power.

      It seemed like the biggest challenges are corrosion from sea water and the marine fouling. As soon as you put something in the sea water it will be covered by algae and organisms.

      These issues make collecting energy from the sea extremely challenging.
