‘Our vision is for a cleaner world, where communities are empowered to come together and take positive action to tackle marine pollution and protect the natural environment.‘
Pier 2 Pier is a silent disco based beach clean, which works to inspire the community to tackle marine pollution in an active and fun way. The organisation was founded by Amy Gibson, a Brighton local, and the organisation has been really successful since opening in 2017. They have managed to remove over 2000kg of litter from the beach, with the help of over 6000 people.
The organisation hosts several opportunities to get involved with the beach clean. These range from action days, available to companies and teams to work together in cleaning the beaches. This is a payed for package. The other option available are the monthly free cleans, open to all. These take place from the West Pier to the Palace Pier. The next date of this is Sunday March 22nd. This is likely to be the one my group will focus on.
I think my groups first line of action would be to contact the founder, Amy, herself through the email found and provided on their website. From there, we could see if it would be possible to film at their next beach clean and perhaps have an interview with the founder. An essential we need to cover however is how our narrative is going to flow. Are we going to cover a beach cleaner or someone attending the clean up for the first time? These are things we need to consider.
