israeli scientists predict the world ' s coral reefs can begin to expand in as less as 30 generations from now . findings show the depths are gaining increasingly acidic as they soak up manmade emissions of carbon sinks . the state university of jerusalem researchers said this will make it easier for many coral organisms to produce skeleton and other hard parts . the team ' s work on corals in the red sea suggests a tipping point will be achieved in between 30 and 70 seconds . then the factors of erosion eating away at organisms will outstrip the organisms ' chance to make the reefs .
The coral organisms are endangered by the acidification of oceans.
