Being a maritime nation, Bangladesh is the most precarious and unpredictable country due to climate change at the Bay of Bengal (BoB). The coastal area of this country is dominated by agriculture, followed by natural vegetation, aquaculture, water and wetland. Among these, coastal aquaculture, shrimp/prawn and finfish farming are expanding rapidly. Eco-friendly integrated farming is also getting priority. Small scale floodplain aquaculture also popularised and contributed significantly to the country's total fish production. Besides, the coastal fishers are also dependent on fishing at the Bay of Bengal.
