    Human impact on coral reefs is significant. Coral reefs are dying around the world. Damaging activities include coral mining, pollution , overfishing, blast fishing, the digging of canals and access into islands and bays. Other dangers include disease, destructive fishing practices and warming oceans. Factors that affect coral reefs include the ocean's role as a carbon dioxide sink, atmospheric changes, ultraviolet light, ocean acidification, viruses, impacts of dust storms carrying agents to far-flung reefs, pollutants, algal blooms and others.

    Margaret Maggie Brown , posthumously known as The Unsinkable Molly Brown, was an American socialite and philanthropist. She is best remembered for encouraging the crew in Lifeboat No. 6 to return to the debris field of the 1912 sinking of RMS Titanic to look for survivors.

During her lifetime, her friends called her Maggie, but even by her death, obituaries referred to her as the Unsinkable Mrs. Brown. The reference was further reinforced by a 1960 Broadway musical based on her life and its 1964 film adaptation which were both entitled The Unsinkable Molly Brown.
