A system for tethering a subsea structure includes an anchor embedded in the sea bed, a mud mat disposed partially above the seafloor, a link attached to the anchor and to the mud mat, and a flexible tension member. One end of the flexible tension member is coupled to a tensioning system configured to pay in and pay out the flexible tension member. The tensioning system is mounted on one of the subsea structure or on the mud mat. The other end of the flexible tension member is coupled to the other of the subsea structure or on the mud mat. The anchor may optionally be buried below the seafloor.
