History
Spanish explorers originally named the lagoon Rio de Ais after the Ais Indian tribe who lived along the river.
Summer Smell
During the hot summer months the earthen berm causeways tend to impede the flow of [[algae) and rotting seagrass which results in an odor of hydrogen sulfide in some areas along the river.
