Generations of academics studied at the Marine Biological Station in Port Erin, which closed in 2006.Jeremy Paul said the closure was "a great loss, not only to science but the island". Students and professors mixed "in a way which did not happen at a main university campus", Dr Paul said, adding: "It was just a fabulous place to work."Former students and staff said the lab was a "special place" to work and study"There are not many labs where you can walk out of the door, be on the shore in two minutes, walk out with your diving gear on, jump into the water and dive along a ruined breakwater," he said.
Alumni went to work "all over the world" with many foreign students travelling to the island to study at the lab, he added.The site has been left derelict since it closed in 2006, and was damaged by a fire in 2016
