The invention relates to a sampler for sampling sediment suspended in fluid, the sampler including a container and a closure. The container includes an opening through which fluid can enter and be contained therein. The closure is associated with the opening of the container and includes a moveable part which on tipping or inversion of the sampler moves between an open and a closed position. In use in the open position the sample can enter the container through the opening and be contained therein, and in the closed position fluid in the container is substantially prevented from leaving the container. The invention also relates to variant forms of the invention and a method of use.
