Activities and equipment

ActivityEquipment
2018-032-FASmith-MacIntyre grab
Grab sampler designed to be forced into the sediment by two springs acting on the axis of the semi-cylindrical jaws. This grab was designed for use in rough weather and for hard sand bottoms.
2018-026-FAShipek grab
Grab sampler with a cylindrical design (length of the cylinder is parallel to the sea floor) deployed by a weight-released spring mechanism that rotates the inner half cylinder by 180° and cuts through the surface of the seabed.
