Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that oil spills cause long-term damage to marine ecosystems?

Yes. Peer-reviewed syntheses report that large oil spills produce decade-scale ecological disruption, including a 26% drop in phytoplankton carbon biomass ten years after spills and suppressed status in key species such as Pacific herring and sea otters lasting over 25 years. Reference works and reviews add that major spills cause lingering damage to coastal fauna and long-term recovery needs in marine habitats.
