A tidal lagoon is a body of ocean water that is partly enclosed by a natural or manmade barrier. Tidal lagoons function much like a barrage however they can be constructed along the natural coastline. A tidal lagoon power plant could also generate continuous power. The turbines work as the lagoon is filling and emptying. But, the energy output from generators using tidal lagoons is likely to be low. There are no functioning examples yet.
