Abstract A new, flow-through benthic corer is described and compared to other commonly used coring methods. The new corer compares favorably with diver coring and is superior to coring with a ball-type, check valve corer, based on recovery of meiofauna, macrofauna, and particle bound hydrocarbons. Check valve corers yielded the most variable results. The new corer may be used to efficiently obtain samples of surface sediments from shallow (〈6 m) water, where a reasonably stable working platform is available.
