There are not many negative ecological effects of wave energy towards the environment, though there are a few. As my first contrary ecological effect, the turbines in the wave energy converters interrupt the movement of large marine animals… as well as ships! This can increase the possibilities of ships sinking, or marine animals being harmed. Wave energy can also disrupt fish migrations in the ocean, and even be a threat to marine life! Wave energy converters can indeed hurt or injure marine animals, it is not safe for fishes or other marine animals. Some positive impacts of wave energy on the environment are that it is renewable energy, thus it does not cause pollution! When fossil fuels are burnt they produce energy, though are harmful
