An artificial reef structure includes a floating platform formed by a number of buoy units combined together and a large number of vertically extending rows of waste tires secured to an under side of the platform to extend to any desired depth and assume any desired configuration. The resiliency of the tires allows the artificial reef structure to be used as a fender, the ring or donut shape of the tires provides cavities in which fish and other sea creatures may breed and feed, and the bulky volume of the reef structure that is formed by the great number of waste tires serves to break up tides and waves and thus protect the seashore and pier and jetty from being damaged by strong tides and waves.
