Presents evidence that it may be possible to observe oceanic suspended particle matter acoustically. The particulate matter discussed is thought to have arisen from a dredging operation. It is also thought that the suspended matter is present at lower concentrations than in any other case recorded acoustically. Certain questions, as yet unresolved, regarding acoustic scattering strengths are also discussed.
