The present study evaluated the adaptation measures taken by the coastal farmers of Bangladesh to cope with the increasing salinity. Mixed method including key informant interview, household survey was used to collect data from 80 respondents who were selected as a sample following disproportionate random sampling technique. The study exhibits the poor socio-economic condition of the respondents in the study areas. Disappearing of agricultural land with diminished productivity was the major challenge they faced due to increasing salinity. Around 82.0% of the respondents adopted medium to high-level adaptation strategies in response to salinity management. Among the selected characteristics, only age and family size showed significant and positive contribution to adaptation. Adopting adequate adaption mechanisms will assist coastal farmers’ sustainability in the changing climatic situation and environmental hazards. The current research is important for the relevant policymakers formulating policy for the coastal farmers.
