The study was based on Sothern coastwhere consist of long tradition of fishing, economical & social hotspot of fisheries&aims to investigate the responses of fishermen and women on climate shocks & strategic intervention for mitigate the risks. 90value chain actors were used to in-depth analysis while majority didn’t perform any productive activity to generate money or to mitigate the risks of climate shocks. The study identified that people who do nothing in off season cause to create social unrest. Female actors more malleable in labor than male while females are more vulnerable to climatic shocks. Only limited number of people with strong social bonds were able to manage the disaster burden engaging cottage fish processing & boat repairing.
