What Influences Mosquito Activity in L'Île-aux-Marins?

Several factors influence mosquito populations in L'Île-aux-Marins. The island’s proximity to the Atlantic Ocean creates a moist environment, ideal for mosquito breeding. Key influences include:

Temperature: Warmer months accelerate mosquito life cycles.
Standing Water: Pools and puddles near the historic fishing village provide breeding grounds.
Vegetation: Dense greenery around the island shelters mosquitoes from wind.

Additionally, the unique geography of the island, including its small size and limited freshwater sources, means mosquitoes tend to concentrate in specific areas, such as near the old docks and sheltered coves. Understanding these factors can help locals and visitors minimize exposure by avoiding high-activity zones during peak times.
