ON NOV. 12, 4 p.m., a Spanish expert on Marine Sciences, Dr. Emma Huertas, will give a lecture on the state of the oceans at the Intramuros branch of Instituto Cervantes de Manila.
The lecture, entitled “The Oceans, 500 Years Later,” is organized under the framework of the 5th Centennial of the first circumnavigation of the world, a feat by explorers Ferdinand Magellan and Juan Sebastian Elcano in a voyage commissioned by the Spanish crown. The lecture will make a comparison of the situations of the oceans 500 years ago and the present, and will present the value of scientific and historical knowledge as a tool for the conservation of our planet.
