The Autonomous Community, in coordination with the coastal municipalities and the Red Cross, deploys one more year, with the arrival of summer and the massive influx of visitors to the coast of the Region, to the members of the Beaches Surveillance and Rescue Plan and Rescue in La Mar (Copla), in order to effectively address any type of incident that may occur and ensure the safe enjoyment of the bathing season.
The surveillance and rescue device, presented today on the beach of La Mota (San Pedro del Pinatar) by the advisor of the acting Presidency, Pedro Rivera, has 252 people, of which 231 are lifeguards, 127 posts, spread over 767 beaches, and numerous material means, among which there are 11 boats, 12 jet skis and 23 rescue pirogues, 6 quads and 8 all-terrain vehicles, 2 ambulances, 26 disabled chairs and 7 maritime rescue boats.
Rivera, who was accompanied by the acting mayor of San Pedro del Pinatar, Visitación Martínez, and the regional president of the Red Cross, Faustino Herrero, recalled that "although the Copla Plan remains active throughout the year, it is during the high danger, which goes from July 1 to August 31, when the available means are fully activated, notwithstanding the fact that in both June and September a good number of the surveillance posts are kept open. In fact, 41 positions are already active in the month of June. "
