But the life of coastal people is full of miseries and treat because of frequent attract of natural hazard and bed effect of unwise anthropogenic activities. Various types of natural hazard like flood, cyclone, tidal charge make the life of coastal people very vulnerable and alter the quality of environmental parameters like soil, water etc. on the hand alarming population growth, unplanned settlement, unsustainable use of land resources also effect the production and land pattern of coastal area. The economic activities of coastal area are fully dependable on environment and nature. They don't know the sustainable use of land and natural resource due to lack of scientific and technical knowledge. They exploit resource and vegetation as their wish. Effect of climate change and natural hazard also degrade the quality of environment and change their pattern of production. Salinity intrusion in the cultivable land decreases the agricultural production. Most cultivable land change into salty land and use for shrimp, crab and salt cultivation. Vegetation coverage in the coastal belt and quantity of vacant land are also decrease. Beside this lack of management and adaptation system make their life more miserable. Lack of socio-economic infrastructure and primary economic activity, natural dependency is highly reliable for low life standard of people. Government should be aware to develop the infrastructural pattern and sufficient shelter facilities to the coastal area to protect the life and wealth of coast.
