Abstract A method and apparatus of harnessing wave energy is described. A wave energy harnessing reservoir has an inlet side and an outlet side, the inlet side being arranged to open or close and the outlet side including a diffuser in which a turbine is located. The reservoir extends from close to the seabed to well above the mean sea level, enabling it to capture nearly the entire energy flux of an ocean wave. When a wave enters the reservoir the inlet side closes, resulting in the formation of a raised water level within the reservoir. The raised water level creates a pressure head used to drive the turbine. The reservoir has retractable feet which allow it to be secured in use on the sea floor in one position, and then easily floated to another position when required. F6g8 5860 106 01 Fig. 2
