Abstract: | This paper presents a new device to collect quantitative samples of sediment and benthic organisms. The device is specially
designed for sampling with the advantages of box-corer or Eckman dredges in submerged areas that are accessible on foot. The
pedal corer is a simple, lightweight, user-friendly device that does not disturb the sediment structure and provides easy
access to the sample contained inside the core. With this device, sampling in shallow water zones that are constantly submerged
is made easy and sampling time is extended in intertidal zones.
