Research Focus

Dr Lindsey West is a Research Fellow in the Department of Planning at Queen's University Belfast, Northern Ireland. She works on the Horizon Europe funded PERMAGOV project, which sets out to contribute to the European Green Deal by improving implementation and performance of EU marine policies related to marine biodiversity, marine litter, marine energy, and maritime transport. Lindsey joined QUB in October 2023 after completing her PhD (2020-2023) in Biodiversity Management at the Durrell Institute of Conservation and Ecology, University of Kent. Her doctoral research explored human-ocean relationships in the context of participation in and support for community-led marine biodiversity conservation and governance in Tanzania. She focused on environmental values, individual and collective identities, and place dependency as a way of understanding how and why individuals and communities cooperate to conserve marine and coastal resources.

Prior to joining QUB, Lindsey worked in the public and NGO sectors. She has a wide range of experience in marine environmental conservation and management across diverse geographical contexts including 12 years in East Africa where she worked with coastal communities on marine biodiversity conservation and local governance of small-scale fisheries. Lindsey’s goal is to build on her experiences in research and practice by contributing to research that has societal impact and brings about long-lasting social change.
