This refuge consists of six National Wildlife Refuges along the Oregon Coast, providing protection to thousands of small islands, rocks, reefs, headlands, marshes, and bays totaling 371 acres spanning 320 miles of Oregon’s coastline. The areas are all managed by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service. The six National Wildlife Refuges—three marines, and three estuarine—are from Tillamook Head south to the California/Oregon border. The marine refuges are Three Arch Rocks, Oregon Islands, and Cape Meares. The estuaries are Bandon Marsh, Nestucca Bay and Siletz Bay.
