This manual is composed of two modules which address the technical and the logistical part of a collecting mission. The first one addresses the scientific issues involved in mounting a collecting mission and basically describes why, where, when, and what should be collected. The second one is concerned with practical arrangements which have to be made to ensure the technical planning can be implemented effectively.
