A technique for monitoring scouring around structural members which are at least partially submerged in the soil bed material at the bottom of a body of water, the distance between a fixed point on the structural member and the topmost portion of the soil bed material near the member is determined and compared to a predetermined value. When scouring occurs, removal of some of the soil bed material results in an increase in the measured distance, which increase can be used to indicate the occurrence of scouring in an appropriate manner, such as by utilizing a display, by recording the data, or even by telecommunicating the data to another location. The distance determination may be made either only when called for or periodically at predetermined times, in order to provide continuous monitoring.
