Less than a second a day in 100 years is a huge change in earth scale. I'm curious, what kind of tidal plant would even come close? Is it assuming we extract 100% energy from the tidal waves and entirely stop the tides, somehow?

Doesn't it depend on how much less than a second it is?

I'm fairly certain stopping the tides would be devastating to the environment since several ecosystems (tidal plains, marshes, riparian zones, etc.) depend upon them.
