For example, I see no mention of the problem of keeping the collection
system free of barnacles and other sea life, a problem that's never been
fully solved even for ships.

Send a diver or ROV out and wipe the thing down now and again -
problem solved long ago.

It hasn't been solved for ships because, unlike stationary power
plants and things, they spend most of their time in places where
divers and ROV's aren't practical.
