In 1983, Congress established the Bandon Marsh as a national wildlife refuge to protect the largest remaining tidal salt marsh in the Coquille River Estuary. In 1999, DeFazio led the effort to pass the refuge expansion to include the Ni-les’tun Unit. This area includes an intertidal marsh, a freshwater marsh, and riparian areas for migratory birds and salmon, steelhead and cutthroat
trout.

DeFazio also helped secure $765,000 in land acquisition funds from the Land and Water Conservation Fund and $4.2 million in transportation act money for North Bank Lane improvements.
