First thing that comes to mind is that tidal waves would be affected.

And what do these waves actually do for Earth? I know they are important, but would it really be that bad of a thing to happen?

Don't know what the waves themselves do for Earth, but i'm sure there's some kind of negative effect. I'll take that C- now!
