This invention relates to an embankment support (10), and more particularly to an embankment support (10) for the protection and stabilisation of sea embankments against wave impact and erosion. According to a first aspect of the invention there is provided an embankment support (10) comprising an anchoring portion for anchoring the support in an embankment, connecting means for allowing interlocking of the embankment support with an adjacent embankment support, and an operatively upper side connected to the anchoring portion for receiving flowing water and directing the water along the operatively upper side of the embankment support, thereby dispersing the water in a desired direction and reducing erosion of the embankment.
