Abstract. The purpose of this study was to calculate the value of<br />

the bottom backscattering strength (SS) using a single beam sonar. The research<br />

was conducted on 29 January to 3 February 2012 in the surrounding waters of the<br />

Seribu Islands, North Jakarta. Acoustic data acquisition was conducted using<br />

the instrument cruzpro sonar. Acoustic data obtained from 9 stations simultaneously<br />

with sampling of sediment substrate. Processing of acoustic data was conducted<br />

using Matlab software and the numerical model of Manik et al. (2006). Sample of<br />

sediment was classified based on the analysis of sediment texture. Using the grain<br />

size analysis, the seafloor sediments consist of sand and clay. Sand and clay<br />

bottom had different bottom backscattering level. Therefore, classification of the<br />

seafloor type using sonar technology for marine geotechnic was possible.<br />

Keywords : sonar, backscattering, seabed, classification, geotechnic<br />
