ABSTRACT The study examined the effect of flooding on the fishing households' welfare in Lagos State. Data were
collected with the aid of structured questionnaire to elicit information from 412 fishers selected through a multistage
random sampling technique. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, budgetary technique and inferential
statistics. Results revealed that rainfall was the dominant climatic factor that had adverse effect on the fishing
communities as 81.1% of the respondents experienced loss in income due to flooding. This occurred during the raining
season between May and August. Generally, respondents have higher net income during high season when there is less
likelihood of flooding than at low season. This implies that during the high season when the volume of water is low,
fish catch is high. The mean income for the fishers that use boat technology during low and high seasons are
N51,032.38 and N105,619.47 respectively and are significantly different at 1 percent (p
