Abstract: Coastal communities are blessed with abundance of natural resources nevertheless, they remain poor especially in developing countries. The livelihoods of the inhabitants of coastal areas are deficient in proper economic growth. To improve sustainable ways of earning from various income sources using their existing resources, approaches to develop alternative livelihood is a common practice. 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.
