the ruído mediático of the última week non deixa lugar the dúbidas. Estes days van vinte years. Dúas décadas of history that in the separan of the greater catástrofe medioambiental documentada fronte the coast Galician: the afundimento of the petroleiro Prestige the uns 230 km of Fisterra.
Nestes days lemos and escoitamos the lembranzas of people that viviron the catástrofe. Voces that crean a relato that comezou aquel 13 of November cando, ás 15:15h, the Centre of Salvamento of Fisterra recibiu a sinal of mayday procedente dun petroleiro liberiano, with bandeira of the Bahamas, xestionado dende Grecia and with carga suíza.
This efeméride garda also especial relevancia for the noso Institute. IIM converteuse, the era of esperar, nun of the discretos protagonistas desa history. the nosas memorias are testemuña of the cambio that the afundimento trouxo to the work that realizaban the 151 women and men that conformaban, daquela, the nosa community.
Today, in the distancia, buscamos contrapoñer three desas perspectivas that compoñen the memoria colectiva that the noso Institute garda daqueles days. Three olladas scientists of profesionais en different etapas of the its carreira that viviron, more or menos directamente, aquela traxedia.
Coas their palabras, a dobre homenaxe. First, the todas the people that traballaron antes, during and despois dese mayday, for protect, preservar and recuperar the noso medio. Second, á science and quen the fai possible, a community always disposta the dar resposta aos retos that lle present á society.
