Sea is the place where they should be but too far from power grids :|
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
What about plankton and other marine life that require sunlight to survive?
 
That's the point. But so far researchers have only studied the effect on oxygen content of water with these systems that if they are harmful for fishes
