Over the last few years, researchers and policy makers are showing their interest in measuring the impact of climate change on migration and human displacement. It is projected that by the next 40 years, around one billion of the world population may move from their own place that has been affected by climate change (Laczko & Aghazarm, 2009).

Coastal areas are commonly defined as the interface or transition areas between land and sea, including large inland lakes. Overall, about 50–70 % of the global population live within 100 km of the coastline covering only about 4 % of earth’s land, thereby drawing heavily on coastal and marine habitats for food, building sites, transportation, recreational areas, and waste disposal. The people of these zones depend mainly on low productive agriculture due to several constraints such as prolonged water logging and drainage congestion in predominantly low-lying areas with heavy soils during the wet season, preponderance of saline and acid sulphate soils, scarcity of good quality irrigation...
