ABSTRACT:
Support member (10) has stabilizer plate (12) and upper (16) and lower (18) tire holders. Support member (10) spans the diameter of a vehicle tire (22), penetrating the treads of the tire. Upper (16) and lower (18) tire holders are spaced apart so as to closely engage tire (22) and maintain tire (22) at a desired vertical elevation. Cross bar (14) is fastened to support member (10) approximately one half way between upper and lower tire holders (16) and (18), with the ends of cross bar (14) engaging the sidewalls of tire (22), thus preventing rotation of tire (22) about support member (10). The apparatus is installed by driving support member (10) into a water bottom at a desired location, typically near a coastline, with tire (22) direction ally aligned so as to protect the coastline, typically by alignment of the sidewalls or face of the tire perpendicular to prevailing wave and tidal flow. A plurality of the apparatus may be installed so as to form a desired pattern, and a cable or other like connecting means strung through a retaining means at the upper end of each support member (10).
