I too am very interested in hearing people’s suggestions for screening as a way to concentrate micros from beached marine material, rather than taking whole sediment samples home. I fly to my destination(s), and therefore I can’t take much in the way of bulky or heavy equipment.  I also never know what is going to be available in the kitchen of the house I will be staying in.

I do always take a couple of metal kitchen sieves with different-size meshes.

That Amazon soil sieve set looks promising...

I am also interested in hearing from anyone who has had luck in paying/bribing folks who work in a scuba business to grab you a good sample of sediment from the bottom off the edge of a coral reef underwater.

Thanks,

Susan
