Lessons and inspiration from Chrissy and Jay Kleburg on climate impact, wildlife, & conservation.
About the learning resources:
To connect students to the coast, Chasing the Tide teamed up with Anne Marie Fayen, curriculum developer, and PBS LearningMedia to make short film clips and discussion guides aligned to Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills and Next Generation Science Standards in both English and Spanish. The learning resources are intended for classroom teachers, informal educators, parents, and learners in grades 3-8 who are looking for science-based learning materials. These resources are available at chasingthetideseries.com/learn

Conservationists Chrissy and Jay Kleberg hiked Texas’ 370 miles of barrier islands over 21 days in October 2023. They embarked on this journey to learn more about the rate of change occurring on the coast, hear from residents and experts about its rich diversity of wildlife, habitats, and history, and understand what the future holds. They captured the adventure on film and produced a six-part series for PBS called Chasing the Tide, which is currently on television stations across the nation and streaming. In addition to the series, they also published a natural history and adventure book that details the journey, production process, and beauty of the Texas Gulf Coast. As part of the project, Jay and Chrissy also teamed up with Anne Marie Fayen, curriculum developer, and PBS LearningMedia to provide short clips and discussion guides for grades 3-8.
