Brighton
- Administrative Port: Hastings

- Population: 155919
Brighton is a town on the south coast of Great Britain. Historically, the mainstay of Brighton's economy was fishing. Open land called the Hempshares provided hemp for ropes; sails were made from flax grown in Hove; nets were dried and boats were kept on the open land and fishermen lived and worked on the foreshore below the East Cliff, in an area known as Lower Town. As Brighton grew, many fishermen spread to other areas of the town and used its many warehouses and workshops to cure and smoke their catches. In 1580, Brighton's 80-boat, 10,000-net fleet was the largest in southern England and employed 400 men. Herring and mackerel were the main products, but plaice, cod and conger eels were also fished. By 1790 there were 100 boats, but this declined to 48 by 1948. A present, much smaller fleet is based at Brighton Marina. Nowadays, Brighton’s main economies are tourism and financial services.
