I'm a bit puzzled by the methodology. I didn't notice any mention in the paper if the exposed EMF was meant to be similar to a surface-laid cable, or one that is buried.
In any case, it is certainly the case that subsea power cables for offshore wind farms are buried (up to meters deep) or otherwise overlaid by rock or other materials to protect them from damage, scour, anchor strikes, etc.
