This study assessed climate change perception and adaptation among artisanal fisher folks in the coastal areas of Lagos State, Nigeria. Primary data was obtained using a structured questionnaire from a sample of 200 artisanal fisher folks selected through a multistage sampling procedure. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics, perception index and Multivariate Probit (MVP) regression model. Results showed that 98.5% of the artisanal fishers were males with mean age, household size, farming experience, and monthly income of 43.8 years, 6 persons, 23 years, and ₦53,275, respectively. The perception index was (x ̅= 0.65), with 52.0% and 48.0% of the respondents having a high and moderate perception of climate change effects, respectively. MVP shows that the likelihood of adopting an increase in fishing time in response to climate change increased significantly with the perception of climate change effects.
