William Arlidge

I am a conservation scientist. I hold a DPhil in Zoology from the University of Oxford, and an MSc and BSc from Victoria University of Wellington. With over 15 years of experience across academic, government, NGO, and consultancy sectors spanning Australasia, Asia, the Americas, and Europe, I combine meta-analysis, statistical modelling, and mixed-methods survey analysis to understand how institutions, stakeholder perceptions, and policy interventions shape conservation outcomes. I am currently a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Community-Based Fisheries Co-Management, with funding from the Stavros Niarchos Foundation through the Wildlife Conservation Society and James Cook University. I lead a global assessment of fisheries co-management in collaboration with the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF). I previously held an Alexander von Humboldt Research Fellowship at the Leibniz Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries, Berlin.
