Penelitian suspensi di kolom air dan sedimen dasar di perairan Panimbang telah dilaksanakan bulan Juni 2004 yang mewakili musim Timur. Sebaran suspensi permukaan dan dasar di sekitar perairan Muara Sungai Ciliman lebih rendah dibandingkan dengan perairan sekitar Muara Sungai Cibungur. Endapan sedimen dasar umumnya lumpur dan lanau lumpuran yang menutupi dasar perairan sebelah Barat pantai Panimbang. Sedangkan kerikil, pasir lanauan dan pasir lumpuran yang berisikan foram, pecahan cangkang moluska dan koral menutupi dasar perairan sebelah Barat Daya dari lokasi penelitian. Di lokasi ini banyak di temukan bagan-bagan apung dan diasumsikan sebagai lokasi yang banyak kumpulan ikan.
Total Suspended Solid Content And Sediment On The Bottom Surface Of Panimbang Water. The study of dynamics oceanography have been executed on June 2004 in the East season. Distribution of total suspended solid on the surface and bottom waters at the Estuary of Ciliman River is lower than Estuary of Cibungur River. Generally mud and silty mud of sediment on the bottom surface waters covered the western part of Panimbang beach. Gravel, silty sand and muddy sand with forams, fraction of mollust and corals found at the Southwest of the study area. In that area is also found many floating of Bagan Apung which is assumed as rich with fishes.
