Oil spills can cause severe, damage to ecosystems, human health, and local economies, often taking decades to fully resolve. According to the the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), there are many types of oil spills and most are minor, for example when oil spills from a ship when it is being refuelled. But serious incidents, like the 2020 oil spill in Mauritius, bring consequences that can be felt for decades.
