In the framework of sediment exchange between the continents and ocean basins, the study of continental margins is of particular interest. Indeed, the deposits sequences represent the sedimentary record of the processes that have taken place in the continent and the ocean (Seibold and Berger, 1982; Agi, 1987). In this context, the continental shelves represent the most sensitive marine areas and of high economic interest, where the deposits are forming a mosaic of relict and modern sediments (Shepard, 1932, Emery, 1968). The littoral zones play an important role in the morphodynamic evolution of the adjacent marine environments, through eustatic changes and the transport of sediments from different input sources (Zazo et al, 1994, 1996, Hernandez-Molina et al, 1996, Gutierrez-Mas et al, 1998; Achab & Gutierrez-Mas, 1999a). To describe sediment transport dynamics and to understand many land-shelf-ocean interaction processes, the quantification of suspended particulate matter (SPM) and the investigation of its dynamics are of major importance. During the past decades, studies on sediment dynamics have focused on the actual processes that control the sediment transport on continental shelves and the final fate of most particulate matter derived from the continents. (Wegner, 2003). The study area was the object of numerous multidisciplinary works realized with the objective of determining the recent sedimentary facies distribution and their sources areas, as well as the recognition of the geological formation located in river basin (Achab et al, 1999b; Achab, 2000; Gutierrez Mas et al, 2004; Achab et al, 2005b). Several studies focused on sedimentary dynamics associated with water mass movements have been realized by several authors (Madelian, 1970; Kenyon and Belderson, 1973; Melieres, 1974; Palanques et al, 1987; Grousset et al., 1988; Maldonado & Nelson, 1999a; Nelson et al, 1999; LopezGalindo et al, 1999; Lobo et al, 2000). Others studies have been focused on the dynamics of fine sediments and clay minerals in the Cadiz bay and the adjacent marine deeper zones (Gutierrez Mas et 1996b, 1997; Achab et al, 1998, 2000b; Achab et al, 2008). Also, they have been approached studies about the dispersal of the suspended matter in the bay of Cadiz and its effects on the inner continental shelf as well as their influence on the recent marine
