Underwater Turbines Swim to Fast Currents
“ … a swarm of underwater turbines that behave like schools of fish to capture the shifting current. These autonomous turbines wouldn’t need to be affixed to one spot on the seafloor. Instead, a set of them would be tethered, allowing them to move together. Sensors would let them communicate with each other.”
This sounds quite a bit like the MIT project called Sea Swarm (which was designed to clean oil spills), but in this case the technology is for energy generation.
