ABSTRACT:
An artificial reef construction is provided, having a base portion formed by a discarded inflatable rubber vehicle tire which is adapted to lie on one side wall thereof with one of the rim openings facing upwardly. The vehicle tire is at least partially filled with weighting material such as concrete. A plurality of strands of wire rope extend through apertures formed in the upper side wall of the vehicle tire, adjacent the upper rim opening with the lower portions of each of the sections of wire rope being embedded in the weighting material for retention. The sections of wire rope extending above the vehicle tire are then frayed so as to form upwardly diverging multiple wire rope strands that cooperate with the vehicle tire to define a centrally oriented protective nesting environment for marine life.
