Measured SPM at different depths in and around mud banks of India. Near bed fluid muds with 0% optical transmission only during SW monsoon. Increase in grain size and bulk density and decrease in water content of sediments during monsoon months. Wave height decreased from 3.2 m to 0.76 m during the formation of fluid muds. Re-suspension of bottom sediment by wave activity caused fluid muds.
