Biomimicry at heart, is innovation inspired by nature. It's a process of learning from, and then emulating, life's blueprints, recipes, and relationship strategies.
It is accepted that there's more than 5,000 times the world's current power usage in the oceans- that's all forms of energy- tidal, waves, currents, temperature and salinity gradients. Just the waves that break on coastlines alone is about twice the world's current power usage, so even to utilise a small fraction of that is going to be very meaningful.
There has been more interest, more demand for large scale installations, which will eventually translate into large wave/tidal farms. Its gone past the point of being speculative and an emergent technology. It is on the verge of widespread acceptance.
Looking at nature, we could see ways that natural structures alleviate excess forces. They bend over when the waves are too large and they move in a natural, streamlined manner, with the wave forces.
We can borrow some of that aspect of these natural systems and integrate it into our designs, and thereby can make very lightweight, flexible structures that are more cost effective.
