Predicting the long-term evolution of a barrier spit in a changing climate: A case study in Rhode Island, Napatree Point

Shoreline recession poses a substantial threat to coastal communities. This study evaluates the long-term viability of the undeveloped Napatree barrier spit in Rhode Island, which provides critical habitat for both flora and fauna, including endangered species, and protects the small town of Westerly from the direct impact of tropical storms and Nor’easters. While the Napatree shoreline has been morphologically stable in recent decades (1970–present), historical periods of higher storm frequency and intensity had resulted in significant changes, including spit splitting and significant transgression. We use the one-line numerical model ShorelineS to assess long-term changes in the position of the Napatree shoreline. The model is calibrated and validated using 30 years of historical observations and then applied to estimate expected shoreline positions in the near future (approximately 2050), considering projected sea level rise (SLR) and potential changes in wave climate and storm frequency. Despite the past and current stability of the dune system, under projected SLR and changes in wave climate, the barrier is expected to recede, possibly reaching a tipping point in the forthcoming decades when its viability would be threatened. This would increase flood risks to the inland community, including critical infrastructures and residential areas. Results suggest that storm intensification rather than SLR is the primary factor of accelerating shoreline recession—by a factor of 4—compared with SLR-only scenarios

Disability and Human Trafficking: Prevention Education and Professional Training

Aim: This pilot study aimed to explore the intersection of disability and anti-trafficking prevention and training efforts from the perspectives of human trafficking survivors with disabilities and the professionals who work with them to inform further research. Methods: The current study draws from in-depth interviews with seven participants, including two survivors and five professionals who regularly worked with human trafficking survivors with disabilities. Data analysis involved independent co-coding of transcribed interviews by a three-member research team to identify core themes and subthemes. Results: The results showed a lack of human trafficking prevention education for people with disabilities, as well as disability inclusive training for professionals. Participants described the need for prevention education to be audience-tailored, accessible, and culturally humble. Participants described that professional training was lacking in both the inclusion of people with disabilities and accessibility, and highlighted the importance of training that includes culturally humble practices. Implications: Prevention education necessitates consideration of the audience, including tailoring content and delivery to the audience (e.g., age/ disability type), making content accessible, and exercising cultural humility in learning about and modifying curriculum and delivery. Professional training requires inclusiveness of the heightened risk experienced by people with disabilities, as well as ways risks and signs may be distinct by disability type. Professional training should be accessible to professionals with disabilities and also include information about accessibility within organizations and culturally humble practices to better serve human trafficking survivors with disabilities
