PROTECTIVE STRUCTURE

The disclosure relates to a structure for permitting overtrawling of subsea equipment, comprising: a protective body; an engagement arrangement extending from the protective body parallel to an engagement axis; a plurality of deflection legs attached to the protective body, for deflecting trawling equipment; the engagement arrangement configured to be received by a support arrangement such that a clearance gap exists between the support arrangement and the engagement arrangement such that application of a force having a component perpendicular to the engagement axis causes relative movement and engagement between the engagement arrangement and the support arrangement so as to restrict further relative movement between the engagement arrangement and the support arrangement. The disclosure further relates to a method for installing a structure for permitting overtrawling of subsea equipment.
