In a coordinated response last night 26/06/23 just before Midnight, Shoreham Coastguard, Newhaven Coastguard, RNLI Brighton, SECAMB, and Sussex Police were dispatched to a distress call involving two individuals who had entered the water opposite Brighton Zip wire.

This incident highlights the importance of caution when near the coast. If you see anyone in trouble along the coast, dial 999 and ask for the Coastguard.
