Local activists Brad Newsham and Travis Van Brasch on January 10 organized a massive human banner at Ocean Beach in San Francisco that read, in all caps, "IT WAS MURDER - ICE OUT!" and included an American flag that rotated upside down, signifying distress and danger. The words were etched into the sand in 100-foot letters before many of the participants arrived by 11:30 am.

Bookshop West Portal is excited to celebrate the publication of Ocean Beach: Fog, Flora, and Fauna. San Francisco locals, author and scientist Eddy Rubin and illustrator Greg Wright, joined forces to create a wonderful portrait of our neighborhood shores in this work of art that shares the story of how the beach came to be.

Garbo Chang, a 59-year-old San Francisco man, tragically died while attempting to rescue his dog in Ocean Beach, with the cause of death yet unreleased.

The San Francisco Fire Department advises against entering the water for rescues, emphasizing safety protocols for those witnessing someone in trouble.
