Activities and equipment

Activity	Equipment
2021-308-FA	Garmin GPS Garmin GPS devices are handheld or mounted navigation units that use Global Navigation Satellite Systems (including GPS, GLONASS, Galileo) to provide accurate positioning for outdoor activities, field surveys, and scientific research. Standard handheld Garmin units (e.g., GPSMAP 65, eTrex 32x) typically achieve 1–3 m accuracy, suitable for most fieldwork applications. Advanced models support multi-band GNSS for improved precision in challenging environments (e.g., dense canopy, rugged terrain)
2021-308-FA	Vibracorer A vibracorer (also called a vibratory corer) is a specialized sediment sampling device used to collect continuous cores of unconsolidated, water-saturated sediments from marine, estuarine, and wetland environments. It is widely employed in coastal and marine surveys for geologic, geochemical, and environmental studies.
