Mousuni, a human habitat island in the Indian Sundarban and located on the southernmost tip of Bengal, is under constant threat of inundation caused by sea level rise. It has been hugely affecting the lives and livelihood of the communities living around the coastal region of the Island. The main objective of the present study is to explore the erosional level and sinking of Mousuni Island and to find out the impact of it on the livelihood of the people. Based on the primary and secondary data the findings of the present study show that if the erosional activity of engulfing water of Bay of Bengal continues the Mousuni Island will sink within 80 to 100 years. Submergence of the island increases the vulnerability of the poor people of the island and reducing capacity to cope with the existing problem.
