It is known for its rich biodiversity, including various species of fish, birds, and other wildlife. The lagoon is a popular destination for recreational activities such as fishing, kayaking, and birdwatching. The lagoon gets its name from the abundance of mosquitoes in the area, particularly during the warmer months. It is also home to the Canaveral National Seashore, which protects its natural habitats. Conservation efforts are ongoing to maintain the lagoon's ecosystem and water quality.
