A seabed scour protection device for protecting an area of a seabed around at least one offshore suction pile is provided. The device comprises a sheet-like flexible screen wherein along a free outer circumferential edge 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. A pressure medium may be pumped into the flexible radial tubular arms in order to cause the flexible scree 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.
