Farm & Aquaculture Insurance

As aquaculture continues to expand globally, the need for specialized insurance coverage has never been more important. At Pacific Ocean Marine Insurance Brokers, Inc., we offer tailored aquaculture insurance solutions designed to protect the unique risks faced by fish farms, hatcheries, and marine agriculture operations.

From small-scale shellfish farms to large offshore finfish operations, aquaculture businesses face a wide range of challenges — including natural disasters, disease outbreaks, stock mortality, and equipment breakdown. Our policies are crafted to help mitigate financial losses from these and other threats, ensuring that your operation remains sustainable and resilient in the face of uncertainty.

Coverage can include protection for:

  • Livestock (fish, shellfish, etc.) against disease, predation, and environmental loss
  • Structures such as pens, tanks, cages, nets, barges, and processing equipment
  • Business interruption due to covered events
  • Pollution or environmental liability
  • Transit coverage for live stock and harvested product

With decades of experience in marine insurance, we understand the operational and regulatory pressures that aquaculture operators navigate. Whether you operate inland or along the Pacific Coast, we’ll work closely with you to build a policy that aligns with your operation’s scale, species, and exposure risks.
