CHASING THE TIDE joins conservationists Chrissy and Jay Kleberg on an unprecedented expedition along Texas’ 370 miles of barrier islands. This 21-day hike explores one of the most biologically diverse coastlines in North America and efforts to balance economic growth and healthy wildlife populations.

#101 The Coastal Journey Begins
Embark on a trek across Texas’ 370 miles of barrier islands and peninsulas with adventurers Chrissy and Jay Kleberg. Join preparations for this first-ever expedition and immerse yourself in the wilderness, extreme weather, economy, and resilient communities.

#102 Man Vs Nature
Explore High Island, one of the world’s best birding spots, with adventurers Chrissy and Jay Kleberg. Take a walk on Texas’ upper coast and hear from locals struggling to keep their coastal ecosystem alive while preparing for the next major storm and fighting against rising seas.

#103 Ghosts Of Our Past
Step into the world of the Ghost Wolves of Galveston Island with adventurers Chrissy and Jay Kleberg. Learn what scientists have discovered about the ancestors of the most endangered wolf on the planet. Meet members of the Karankawa Kadla, a group of Native Americans who, like the red wolf, were thought extinct.

#104 Losing Ground
Travel with adventurers Chrissy and Jay Kleberg to Matagorda Island, the traditional homeland of the Karankawa people and World War II training grounds, threatened by rising seas. Get to know Ellis Pickett, a longtime Texas surfer and advocate for the public’s right to free and unrestricted access to Texas beaches. The Klebergs return to the Upper Texas coast in an attempt to take care of some unfinished business.

#105 Our Living Coastline
Chrissy and Jay meet with anglers and scientists fighting to save native oysters, the natural architects of the bays, and researchers who are stewarding millions of acres of critical wildlife habitat for the benefit of millions of migratory birds. Explore the Laguna Madre, one of the world’s six hypersaline lagoons, where nearly the entire Redhead ducks spend the winter.

#106 Mission Critical
Hike Padre Island, the world’s longest barrier island, with adventurers Chrissy and Jay Kleberg. Join the expedition as they complete their first-ever 370-mile hike of the Texas coast, encountering an astronaut, falcons, and the most endangered sea turtle in the world.
