2018-358-FA	Grab Sampler A grab sampler is a device used to collect sediment samples from the seabed, riverbed, or lake bottom for geological, environmental, and marine research. It operates by “grabbing” a portion of surface sediment in a single action, typically using a set of jaws or clamshell-like scoops.
