Might mean you have a mesh enabled AP that is intermittently unable to connect
as in

Summary
AP is broadcasting an SSID of "island"
Question
iWhat is an "Island SSID"?
Keywords
island SSID
Root Cause
When mesh AP looses connectivity with its uplink AP or Gateway
Resolution

The Island SSID is known as the Mesh Recovery SSID which assists in recovering isolated Mesh APs in the event that they lose connection to their uplink AP. In order to recover, the Gateway should be defined in the AP's as described below.

Zone Director-controlled APs in a Layer 2 topology may enable the Mesh Recovery SSID while still connected to ZoneDirector if they are unable to contact the gateway, or the default gateway is not defined.

You can change and test it by going into ZD GUI --> Configure --> Access Points.
Click on Edit under Actions and enter the Gateway manually for that AP.

Once the Gateway is specified and saved, make sure to reboot the AP.

When the mesh connection works properly your AP should then broadcast "wifizonetac" WLAN as setup on the ZD.

The ISLAND status is telling your there is an error condition. Correct the error and ISLAND will no longer be broadcast. That's what I'd expect to happen.

Need to troubleshoot the intermittent mesh connection to the isolated AP.
Apologies if that seems a bit obvious.
