Mooring loop

An apparatus comprising:

• a mooring loop including:
• a reactive fiber component spliced together into a shape of a continuous loop, wherein the reactive fiber component includes a plurality of at least one of:
• an undrawn hydrophobic polymer fiber, a substantially undrawn hydrophobic polymer fiber or any combination thereof, wherein the reactive fiber component is operative to stretch responsive to a load;
• at least one jacket in surrounding relation around the reactive fiber component, wherein at least some portions of the reactive fiber component are operative responsive to a load to enable the mooring loop to stretch multiple times greater in length, wherein as at least portions of the reactive fiber component stretch, at least one portion of the at least one jacket is operative to become separated and enable portions of the reactive fiber component to become visible;
• and
• an intermediate reinforcing segment in surrounding relation to an intermediate portion of the mooring loop which separates two opposed apertures through the mooring loop on opposed sides of the intermediate reinforcing segment.
