We are direct importers of the livestock that these farms now produce with our direct guidance.

Pacific East Aquaculture is situated on the idyllic Delmarva peninsula located between the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Chesapeake Bay to the west. The slower Eastern Shore of Maryland is a quiet and relaxing place with many farms, wetlands, and waterways. Crab houses and crabcakes abound along with many antique stores and the resort town of Ocean City along with our neighbor town of Berlin--of fame from the 1999 movie Runaway Bride. So, there is a lot to see and do here beside visiting us. It’s a beautiful drive here from every direction such as New York and Philadelphia to the north, Baltimore and Washington DC to the west, or Richmond or Virginia Beach to the south. All roads lead you to beautiful downtown Mardela Springs Maryland and Pacific East Aquaculture! As a large coral aquaculture facility we always have thousands of corals and other marine life to pick from. We also sell manmade live rock and live sand. We provide free aquascaping service at our facility.
