The U.S. government may have ulterior motives for wanting to expand the Bandon Marsh.
Here is a link to an EPA Mitigation Factsheet, some files from the US Fish & Wildlife Service.

"The Refuge manages 889 acres of
land in fee title ownership within
an approved boundary of 1,000
acres, which represents a valuable
contribution to the protection of
biodiversity in the Coquille River
estuary. However, several scientific
assessments in the area indicate
that much of the region's fish,
wildlife, and habitats are in need of
further protection, enhancement,
and/or restoration. To address
this concern, we are proposing to
study our options for expanding the
Refuge during the CCP process now
underway."
