Francis Farley, an experimental physicist (I like them much more than the theoreticians), has invented the “Anaconda” wave powered device. It can mainly be described as a large distensible tube, made out of rubber, closed at both ends and filled with water. The Anaconda tube is designed to be anchored just below the sea’s surface, with one of its ends facing the oncoming waves.

BioWave - free electricity from mimicking sea plants
(via www.greenoptimistic.com)
BioPower Systems from Australia thought that making an under-ocean energy collecting system whose movement resembles with the one plants have, would be much more efficient and non-disturbing to the environment.
