The Centre for Historical, Anthropological and Cultural Research (CIHAC-AIP), affiliated with the Ministry of Culture, will participate in the 10th Latin American Congress of Marine Sciences (COLACMAR) to be held from September 19 to 23 in Panama.
Marixa Lasso, executive director of CIHAC AIP, stated that while the general theme of the congress focuses on the natural sciences, especially biology, the culture sciences are of great importance because "we cannot protect the sea as a strategic resource if we have no emotional and cultural link with it based on knowledge and research about our link with the sea."
At this congress, with COIBA AIP, the Mini Symposium was organized: Underwater Archaeology and Science and Stories of the Sea, added Dr. Lasso.
The research lines of CIHAC AIP include the historic and cultural link between Panama and its sea and its researchers will participate with three presentations about this issue.
One of the presentations will be by Paolo Vignolo, professor at Universidad Nacional de Colombia, an associate researcher CIHAC-AIP with the theme "The Panama of the 16th Century in the great world of seawold people."
Dr. Samuel Robles, a musicologist and permanent researcher CIHAC AIP, will put forward the theme "Current and Confluence: The violin at the port of Panama in the 19th century" and CIHAC-AIP's executive director, Dr. Marixa Lasso will put forward the theme "The City and the Sea: How to think about the historic and cultural connection between town, port and sea in Panama?
The mini symposium on Underwater Archeology and Sea Stories will have other important conferences such as: "Order amidst chaos: Ornaments about shipwrecks and savages" by Linneth Suira Araúz, an associate researcher at Coiba AIP, "Woody forest resources, construction of traditional ships and fishing at the Jaqué Reg, Darién (Panama) and its application in Underwater Archeology" by Rita Liss Ramos Pérez and Abner Alberda, from the University of Panama, the University of Cadiz and Coiba AIP and "Exploring Maritime and Coastal Paleoecology" by Isabel Rivera-Collozo and Dominique Rissolo.
