ocaean currents as Alternitive energy

What I learned is : ocean currents are gaining significance as a possible form of alternitive energy, and scientists all over the world are experimenting, to do this by building turbines. Turbines will convert water into energy.

How I relate to this is: I know that they have done this to smaller fresh water rivers by converting water into power/energy. These water to power converters are called dams. They use a smaller form of turbine.

What I wonder now: is how they are going to build the turbines without running into problems with all of the water? They could drain off some of the ocean, but where would they put all the water? How would some of the ocean animals be affected from doing this?
