Peterson Grabber A Peterson Grabber is used for bottom sampling. It has a two hinged semicylindrical bucket that is held apart by a cocking device and is released when the grabber hits the floor of the ocean Ana Carrera

Peterson Grabber The Peterson Grabber has been used in fresh water to collect macroscopic fauna in sand, gravel, marl, or clay. Is not intended for salt water sampling and must be painted with protection if so. Kaitlyn Duncan

Secchi Disk The Secchi Disk measures the transparency of the water. The transparency of the water gets affected by the algae ,suspended of sediments, and the color of the water.

Purse seine net Definition-Net used in menhaden fishing that encircles the school of fish What it does-Purse seine nets catch schooling fish like tuna by en­circling the school with a wall of netting. They can cap­ture dolphins and other natural predators feeding on the school.

Purse Seine Net By: Alexus Dillard A large net , carried by two boats , used to enclose, or trap, a school of fish.

Kofi J. Mrs.Rhymer 1st Period Plankton Net Plankton Nets are a modification on the standard trawl used to collect planktonic organisms, of any size, intact. There are 3 forms of plankton nets, which are The Ring Nets, The Bongo Nets, and the Multinet. Plankton Nets have a long funnel shape that allows them to catch differently sized plankton. http://www.coml.org/edu/tech/collect/planktonnets.htm

Elijah McClinton 1st period Conshelf Definition: Continental Shelf Station Two was an attempt an environment where men could work/live on the sea floor. An idea of what there underwater habitat looked like. There were different stages of conshelf, i, ii, iii … and so on. Conshelf proved that human beings can live under the sea for long periods of time but that, even though they have the physical and psychological capabilities, humans are not made to exist in a world without sun. http://www.cousteau.org/technology/conshelf

conshelf In 1962, Conshelf I was set up off Marseilles at ten meters depth. steel cylinder, 5 meters long & 2.5 meters in diameter. Conshelf proved that human beings can live under the sea for long periods of time. Conshelf II was essentially a small village, built on the floor of the Red Sea at ten meters depth. http://www.cousteau.org/technology/conshelf

Dredge an apparatus for bringing up objects or mud from a river or seabed by scooping or dragging. This helps the rivers and seabed be clean .

Water Collecting Bottle The bottles shown above are originally called niskin bottles and are used for collecting ocean water as a marine census. These bottles either have one opening at the top or two, one on top and the other at the bottom. They are all put together to make on big CTD that’s thrown into the ocean and collects the samples. -Shelsy López

Water Collecting Bottle - Niskin Mirza Karic 1st Period Oceanography 9-3-13 Water Collecting Bottle - Niskin A Niskin bottle is a device for obtaining samples of seawater at a specific depth. Designed in 1910 by the early 20th-century explorer and oceanographer Fridtjof Nansen and further developed by Shale Niskin.

The Alvin Used by the navy as a Deep Submergence Vehicle (D.S.V.) and used by Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution as a national oceanographic facility. Maneuverability tool used under the water at all depth making it easier for research. Its only down side is its 2 hour dive to the seafloor and 2 surfacing roughly giving you 4 hours of search time. Stephen Height

Side-Scan Sonar A side scan sonar creates a picture of the seafloor. It measures the strength of how loud the return echo is and paints a picture. Work cited: http://oceanservice.noaa.gov/education/seafloor-mapping/how_sidescansonar.html# Jade Jones

Reversing Thermometer By: Brian Galeano Measures underwater temperature and pressure. “Consists of two mercury thermometers—one protected from the water pressure and the other exposed—mounted so that they can slide up and down a cable lowered from a ship” (Britannica).” When lowered to the depth to be measured, device called a messenger is dropped down the cable, the thermometers are inverted, breaking their mercury columns, and preserving their temperature readings as the device is hauled back on board ship.
