    The article doesn’t say anything about it not being tethered, so I’d assume it still is.

      Power is then sent to the grid via a subsea cable which also acts as the kite’s tether.

      I’d assume this is less disruptive to sea life than this, which appears to just be a giant bollard with a turbine mounted on it sunk into the seabed.
