Mission Critical
In 2023, adventurers Chrissy and Jay Kleberg walked every inch of Texas’ seven barrier islands – a distance of more than 370 miles – in just 21 days. This series tells the story of that journey and of the wildlife and people that inhabit this vibrant and resilient coast. For some, the Texas coast is merely a weekend destination; for others, it is dynamic, wild, and constantly under threat.
