Abstract: Continuous increases in global mean sea level is affecting coastal communities worldwide. In Thailand, the rising sea level exacerbates the vulnerability of coastal communities to changes in geographic conditions seriously affecting communities with low adaptive capacity and mostly dependent on natural resources. This paper identifies the potential vulnerability of coastal fishing communities which are prone to severe sea-level rises, like in the case of Laemsing District in Chanthaburi Province, Thailand.

“…This will improve the efficiency of fishers, improve fish catches, and reduce the sensitivity to climate change. The standard boat building yard may also create new employment opportunities in the communities, which have the potential to increase incomes and capacity to cope with adverse conditions [79].…”

“…Additionally, climate change has resulted in increasing land and sea surface temperatures, widespread reduction of snow and ice, and sea-level rises. Coastal zones of Thailand, for instance, have experienced increases in sea level at the rate of 3 mm to 10.5 mm per year in the last two decades [59]. Rising sea levels can lead to coastal erosion, seawater intrusion, and floods [60].…”

“…Monitoring this phenomenon for the performance of strategies for its mitigation is not straight forward [20,21]. The scientific bibliography provides several analysis tools such as the classical study of sedimentary transport [22], the development of risk management matrixes [18] or the analysis of the rise in sea level [23] of current scenarios. In this field, it is evident that the physical transformations of the territory derived from human activity inevitably modify the coastal vulnerability of an area.…”
