The livelihoods of the inhabitants of coastal areas are deficient in proper economic growth.

Coastal communities of Bangladesh occupied on southeastern coasts, known to have a significant number of commercially valuable seaweeds grown seasonally. The communities here are aware of the value yet have no idea how to use it. The current study elucidated the response of coastal inhabitants’ on potentiality of seaweed farming as an alternate income generation (AIG) activity to improve the livelihood of the coastal community in Bangladesh.
