Narrative:
In descent to destination, cargo in forward cargo bin shifted several times. Every time aircraft accelerated, decelerated, or pitched up or down, noticeable movement of cans in forward cargo compartment could be heard and felt by both cockpit crew members and flight attendants. I notified maintenance control via VHF radio to meet aircraft at gate and inspect the forward cargo bin prior to cargo being offloaded. Entered write-up in maintenance log.
