Putting car bodies in rivers to prevent erosion is an old AND DISCREDITED practice. I'm sure it's illegal now, and it certainly is ugly even if it worked, which it doesn't. On the contrary, flowing water passing by a car body swirls around in the cavities and then eats away at the bank the car was supposed to protect. I've seen some of these from my canoe, and it can be a real mess. I don't know about Christmas trees in rivers and lakes. Presumably they could make hiding habitat for fish or something like that, but they still suck oxygen out of the water as they decompose.
