    About Chasing the Tide

    Chasing the Tide invites the audience to join this Emmy Award-winning film team and adventurers, Chrissy and Jay Kleberg, as they walk every inch of Texas’ 370 miles of barrier islands and peninsulas. 

    They spent the early days of their relationship apart, Chrissy conducting wildlife research in Hawaii and Jay working in rainforest conservation in the Brazilian Amazon. The couple, twenty years and three daughters later, embarks on an adventure closer to home. Join them as they learn how the Gulf of Mexico’s rising sea level and temperatures impact coastal communities. Learn how Texas, the nation’s energy capital and leading carbon emitter, is on the frontier of the impacts of climate change and is experiencing the fastest rates of shoreline erosion in the country. Hear from scientists and community leaders about efforts to fortify the coast, launching the largest public works project in U.S. history and the country’s most significant coastal restoration effort. 

    Along the way - Chrissy and Jay discover clues to a more resilient future, Galveston Island residents rally to save the lost descendants of the endangered red wolf, bi-national partners work to restore the population of the most endangered sea turtle in the world, scientists and anglers join forces to protect the nation’s last remaining wild oyster reefs, and, in the midst of some of the fastest population growth in the country, an Indigenous group, thought to be extinct, reconnects after a century in the shadows.
