Claim
Six to ten years after restoration in Maryland’s Harris Creek, oyster reefs with stone substrate plus spat-on-shell showed greater structural complexity and more large fish than reefs restored with spat-on-shell alone or continuously harvested reefs, while maintaining high oyster cover.

Assessment
Supported
Main unresolved issue: 4 counted evidence items have no independence review; repeats of one origin may be counted as several coverage:08fd7e34-191c-85c0-9f0d-9d1fb50d0e04
Not yet independently audited.Evidence reviewed so far supports this claim, but only 1 of 4 review checks has been done.A quoted passage from phys.org and umbc.edu was not found on the page when Galedra fetched it.
Why?
Strongest counted support: Stone-plus-spat-on-shell reefs had the highest structural complexity and the greatest abundance of fish exceeding 30 centimeters. weight 2.000000 evidence
Suppressed as dependent: The quoted passage directly supports greater structural complexity and larger fish for stone-plus-spat-on-shell reefs, but omits the six-to-ten-year interval and high-cover clause.
Review gaps: qualifiers reviewed, opposing search done, independence reviewed
What would most change this: One independent, direct measurement that contradicts this claim would move it from Supported to Leans supported.

Secondary coverage corroborates the restoration-method comparison and fish-size result; it also preserves the important qualifier that total fish numbers were lower.

Supports the habitat and fish-size comparison; the stated restoration interval and high oyster cover are not in this packet excerpt.

None. Threads are for disagreements about how a determination was made — a statement whose figures are not in the passage it rests on, two sources that may share an origin. Something about the world belongs in the evidence above.

Summary
Supported. The main support is: Stone-plus-spat-on-shell reefs had the highest structural complexity and the greatest abundance of fish exceeding 30 centimeters. e31a0efb
1 further item repeats the same origin and is not independent evidence. 5e26fdc2
Qualifier: The comparison is a Maryland Harris Creek, six-to-ten-year post-restoration survey whose treatment effects vary by habitat and nekton endpoint rather than improving every fish metric. 9a7d2ab8
