The engine is distinguished by its remarkable reliability and performance, and both quads are outfitted with the most advanced features. They are equipped with complete LED headlights, roof racks that can support up to 50 kilos, an electric winch with a towing capacity of over 450 kilos, and an additional roof rack that can support up to 90 kilos.

Each vehicle is capable of transporting a maximum of 800 kilogrammes. They are capable of travelling up to 300 kilometres due to their 25-liter fuel capacity. They are capable of producing 47 horsepower at 5,500 revolutions per minute (rpm) with a displacement of 686 cubic centimetres. Additionally, they weigh 385 kilogrammes and feature EPS power steering.

Yesterday, Wednesday April 16th, Toni Pérez underscored that the two quads are “a new tool of maximum capacity and power for supervising the city’s beaches.”

The mayor also underscored that the two new vehicles “are incorporated into the existing sea and land resources to enhance the peace of mind of beaches that are in exceptional health and already provide our visitors with a wonderful appearance in terms of cleanliness, appearance, and services.”

Otters spotted in Guardamar del Segura

The province of Alicante has observed otters. This population is one of the most recent discoveries in the southern region of the province, where numerous specimens of this European mammal have been identified in the Segura River areas. The populations are situated between Bajo Vinalopó and Vega Baja.

The Keuper Environmental Association and the Association for Rural Development of Camp d’Elx-ADR have identified the presence of these mammals in the municipality of Guardamar del Segura. As part of the ‘Lutra Lutra’ Project, which concentrates on the study of otters, they have installed camera devices.

The discovery of numerous specimens has been made possible by the cameras deployed in the Segura River as it passes through Guardamar and in the network of ditches and canals that lead up to the El Hondo Natural Park in Elche-Crevillent. According to the Keuper association, these otters have been observed at the weir and ancient flour mill of Sant Antonio, which are situated in the old river branch and are only one kilometre from the sea.

The environmental association elucidates that this mammal has successfully recolonised the Segura River and the system of ditches, canals, and reservoirs in El Hondo Natural Park. The drainage and rehabilitation work in the area has facilitated the discovery of these specimens.

The initiative is currently in the process of advancing to the next phase, during which members and volunteers conduct transects to identify potential tracks and droppings. The Agrochemistry Department of the Miguel Hernández University of Elche will collect and analyse them to ascertain the impact and abundance of microplastics in the diet of this nocturnal and elusive mammal.

This initiative is a component of the collaboration agreement between the Keuper Environmental Association, the Association for Rural Development of Camp d’Elx-ADR, and the LIBERA initiative, which is promoted by SEO/BirdLife in partnership with Ecoembes.
