Abstract
Oil spills are one of the most devastating environmental disasters, causing severe damage to marine ecosystems and coastal communities. This review article examines the multifaceted impacts of oil spills, focusing on the effects on marine life, the ecological balance of affected areas, and the socio-economic repercussions for coastal communities. By synthesizing findings from previous studies, the paper aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the short-term and long-term consequences of oil spills and to suggest measures for mitigation and restoration.
