A marine connector having a central core, a first shoulder disposed around at least part of the central core, a second shoulder disposed around at least part of the central core and spaced from the first shoulder and an expandable clamping member disposed around at least part of the central core and between the first and second shoulders. The first and second shoulders are relatively movable from a first distance apart, wherein the clamping member is at a first or rest width, to a second distance apart, wherein the shoulders act upon the clamping member to expand it outwardly from the central core to a second or expanded width. In use the connector may be received into a complementary female receptacle or into a length of pipe, to act as a pipeline recovery tool.
