Documentary abstract — original language

In recent decades, global society has grown increasingly concerned about climate change because of its profound impacts on humanity, particularly on fishing communities that depend on the hazardous seas for their livelihoods. This research analyzes the technologies used by fishermen and examines their role in promoting sustainability. Specifically, the study investigates how climate-resilient technologies help fishermen mitigate risks encountered during maritime activities. A total of 385 fishermen were selected from the fisheries ghat area of Cox’s Bazar using purposive sampling. Data were collected in March and April 2025 through a semi-structured questionnaire administered via mobile devices using the Kobo Toolbox Open Data Kit (ODK) platform. The findings reveal that although a considerable number of fishers use climate-resilient technologies, their adoption is limited by illiteracy, inadequate access to technology, and difficulties in applying such technologies to fishing activities. Nevertheless, the results also demonstrate that modern technologies positively transform fishermen's livelihoods and help them avoid climate-induced threats at sea. This study provides valuable insights for governments and policymakers on integrating technology in fishing practices and the challenges faced by fishermen. It thereby contributes to the development of effective policies to improve the livelihoods of fishing communities in Bangladesh and abroad.
