A seabed trenching plow (40) has a chassis (10), a sled (30) and a towing assembly (70). The towing assembly (70) has a pair of wings (71) extending laterally from each side of the chassis (10). The wings (71) are aligned on an axis (75) transverse to the chassis (10) and adapted for connection to a towing line "L". The transverse axis (75) is forward of the center of gravity (81) of the plow (40) and rearward of the sled (30), affording an over the stern releasable and retrievable trenching plow of sufficient weight and strength to excavate a three meter trench in a single pass. To assess the protective capabilities of the trench, a threshold signal indicative of a desired composition of seabed-trench soil is compared with a real-time data signal indicative of the actual to produce an alarm signal when the real-time data signal is not protective-capability compliant with the threshold signal.
