DESCRIPTION:\n\n	STRIP THE BEACH - World’s Largest Naked Beach Clean\n
	\n\n\n	Community Black Rock Beach / Brighton Nudist Beach\, Brighton\, Eas
	t Sussex\n\n\n\n	On Sunday 18th September\, Brighton environmentalists are
	 invited to take off their clothes and join a naked beach clean-up campaig
	n. Strip The Beach\, organised by the World Cetacean Alliance\, aims to st
	rip the beach of rubbish\, and get into the record books.\n\n\n\n	Organise
	rs intend to bring together a Guinness World Record number of naked people
	 for the event.\n\n\n\n	Beach clean-ups are conducted around the world wit
	h the aim of removing man-made debris from the coastline and recycling or 
	disposing of the collected waste accordingly. Brighton has the UK's only
	 “Green” constituency and is located within the Brighton and Lewes Dow
	ns UNESCO Biosphere Region. However\, following council funding cuts for s
	treet and beach cleaning\, marine litter and derelict fishing equipment co
	ntinues to wash up and remain on our shores.\n\n\n\n	Organisers of the nak
	ed beach clean aim to raise awareness of the problem of marine plastics\, 
	sea litter and discarded fishing equipment (\"ghost nets\"). Strip The Bea
	ch will take place on Brighton's historic Black Rock naturist beach (Black
	 Rock Station\, Madeira Dr\, Brighton\, BN2 1FY). This is a less populated
	 stretch of Brighton’s seafront\, and an area where more flotsam and jet
	sam accumulates due to prevailing currents and the presence of Brighton Ma
	rina.\n\n\n\n	Russell Arnott\, event organiser and Outreach Officer at Wha
	leFest: Incredible Oceans\, says\, “At present\, 8 million tons of plast
	ic is added to our oceans every year. I can’t even begin to imagine what
	 that much plastic looks like\; the number is too big for the human mind t
	o get a handle on. Plastic can take hundreds of years to break down natura
	lly so in the meantime it continues to wash up on beaches all over the wor
	ld harming wildlife and damaging the food chain. We are hoping that this e
	vent will capture people’s imaginations and raise awareness of issues su
	rrounding ocean plastic”.\n\n\n\n	The event is happening in conjunction 
	with the Marine Conservation Society’s Great British Beach Clean weekend
	 (16th to 19th September -www.mcsuk.org/beachwatch/greatbritishbeachclean 
	)\, and is supported by WhaleFest\, Incredible Oceans\, Brighton Naked Bik
	e Ride and Brighton and Hove City Council. Organisers aim to connect with 
	other local and national marine organisations and charities\, bringing the
	m together for a common cause.\n\n\n\n	Participation is free\, and will ta
	ke place whatever the weather\n\n\n\n	Sign up: http://www.mcsuk.org/beachw
