Seabed scour protection device for protecting an area of a seabed around at least one offshore suction pile, the at least one offshore suction pile comprised of a tubular element having an open bottom portion and a closed top portion and configured to penetrate the seabed by suction, the seabed scour protection device comprising: - a carrier configured to be attached to the closed top portion of the offshore suction pile, the carrier being shaped as to extend circumferentially with a clearance around the offshore suction pile when attached to the top portion of the offshore suction pile; - a sheet-like flexible screen extending between an inner circumferential edge and a free outer circumferential edge, wherein along the free outer circumferential edge one or more flexible ballast elements are provided, wherein the flexible screen is configured to be movable between a retracted state wherein the screen is in a rolled-up position and an expanded state wherein the screen is in an unrolled position so as to cover the area of the seabed; - the sheet-like flexible screen further including a plurality of flexible radial tubular arms; characterised by - a duct in fluid connection with the flexible radial tubular arms, the duct comprising a pump connection arranged for connecting a pump, wherein the pump may be connected to the pump connection so as to pump a pressure medium under pressure via the duct into one or more of the flexible radial tubular arms in order to cause the sheet-like flexible screen including the flexible radial tubular arms to move between a retracted state wherein the flexible screen is in a rolled-up position and an expanded state wherein the flexible screen is in an unrolled position so as to cover the area of the seabed thereby substantially avoiding scouring. having an open bottom portion and a closed top portion and configured to penetrate the seabed by suction, the seabed scour protection device comprising: - a carrier configured to be attached to the closed top portion of the offshore - a carrier configured to be attached to the closed top portion of the offshore suction pile, the carrier being shaped as to extend circumferentially with a clearance around the offshore suction pile when attached to the top portion of the offshore suction pile; - a sheet-like flexible screen extending between an inner circumferential edge and - a sheet-like flexible screen extending between an inner circumferential edge and a free outer circumferential edge, wherein along the free outer circumferential edge one or more flexible ballast elements are provided, wherein the flexible screen is configured to be movable between a retracted state wherein the screen is in a rolled-up position and an expanded state wherein the screen is in an unrolled position so as to cover the area of the seabed; - the sheet-like flexible screen further including a plurality of flexible radial tubular arms; characterised by - a duct in fluid connection with the flexible radial tubular arms, the duct comprising a pump connection arranged for connecting a pump, wherein the pump may be connected to the pump connection so as to pump a pressure medium under pressure via the duct into one or more of the flexible radial tubular arms in order to cause the sheet-like flexible screen including the flexible radial tubular arms to move between a retracted state wherein the flexible screen is in a rolled-up position and an expanded state wherein the flexible screen is in an unrolled position so as to cover the area of the seabed thereby substantially avoiding scouring. - the sheet-like flexible screen further including a plurality of flexible radial tubular arms; characterised by - a duct in fluid connection with the flexible radial tubular arms, the duct comprising a pump connection arranged for connecting a pump, wherein the pump may be connected to the pump connection so as to pump a pressure medium under pressure via the duct into one or more of the flexible radial tubular arms in order to cause the sheet-like flexible screen including the flexible radial tubular arms to move between a retracted state wherein the flexible screen is in a rolled-up position and an expanded state wherein the flexible screen is in an unrolled position so as to cover the area of the seabed thereby substantially avoiding scouring.
