ARESST: Dr. Keith Martin, M.D., Member of Parliament, Esquimalt-Juan de Fuca

The Association for Responsible and Environmentally Sustainable Sewage Treatment presents a series of brief talks by professional speakers, each of whom has direct work-related experience with the sewage treatment issue.

These people include medical health officers, oceanographers, engineers, biologists, and politicians, all of whom are expert regarding the scientific and political issues underlying this controversy.

Thanks Dr. Keith Martin!

Victoria does NOT need more land-based sewage treatment plants, because our current, marine-based sewage treatment system, together with source controls, works very well.

Our system benefits both our land and our marine environment, unlike a land-based system which will not make any positive difference to our marine environment but will create thousands of tons of sewage sludge and greenhouse gases.
