This study has measured the resilience of three coastal marine fishing communities of Rangabali Island in Bangladesh and assessed the factors responsible for increasing or decreasing the resilience. The findings have revealed that variations in the resilience scores are strongly affected (p-value < 0.001) by social, physical, and institutional attributes. More precisely, cooperation, trust, and equity among fishers, good leadership, physical assets ownership, proper early warning system, livelihood training programs, and strong government intervention have significant impacts in increasing the resilience of the fishing communities. This study suggests some measures to be taken to further strengthen the resilience of fishing communities, including strengthening social cohesion, introducing new aquaculture practices, incorporating value-added products, enhancing ice facilities, engaging women in income-generating activities, and improving emergency food, water, and medication facilities during disaster. In addition, both government and nongovernment organizations should work together to enhance the resilience of the fishing communities.
