Abstract: Abstract Time and again, climate change is a global phenomenon; intrinsically affects people and the environment more at the local and the global level when driven anthropogenically. Due to multiple reasons, the coastal region is more vulnerable to ongoing and forthcoming climate change. The study was conducted to develop a framework and to discuss the perception of fishery-based farmers and their response to the climate-induced crisis through their management practices. It is well known that preventing climate change is costly; alternatively, measures can be initiated to mitigate its adverse effects on humans as well as on the ecosystem. The importance of utilizing the internal physical, social, and psychological aspects of a farming community to deal with crisis management efficiently has been unearthed in this study. It is understood that climate-induced crisis management is contributed by psycho-socio-economic factors associated with the farmer and his environment. The computing effects of these exogenous variables may lead to the emergence of hybrid, moribund, socio-economic structures, which may increase the tendency of farmers for vulnerability to climate change. Analysis of these variables affecting crisis management will help to identify and undertake practical approaches to alter the favourable and manipulable variables connected with crisis management. The results are more relevant for farmers, extension professionals, governmental agencies, Non-Government Organizations, and scientists who play a definite role in the management of crisis-induced by climate change.
