For this purpose, a structured questionnaire is designed. It consists of livelihood asset (human, physical, finance, natural and social asset), government intervention and livelihood outcome. To achieve the aim of the study, data were collected from a sample of 400 coastal fishermen in Kuala Kedah, TanjungDawai and Yan in Kedah and Kuala Perlis in Perlis Malaysia.
