HARIMAP provides a way for the insurance industry to set insurance premiums for fish farms and other marine acquaculture in relation to algal blooms. Algal blooms are natural events, but they can be harmful to marine animals such as farmed fish and shellfish. Shellfish exposed to algal blooms can also be toxic or even fatal to humans and as such exposed farms are closed until the event has passed and cleared. These closures are both costly to the owner and the insurance company who insures against such events. In order to set realisitic insurance premiums, the insurance industry needs a way of scoring the risk of algal blooms at a given location in the ocean where aquaculture may be sited. HARIMAP takes data from satellites and numerical models to generate such a risk score that can be presented as a map and used alongside standard maps and charts of the marine environment. The products are delivered by SeaZone, which is an established supplier of marine data products.

HARIMAP为保险业提供了一种方式，为养鱼场和其他海洋捕获物确定与藻华有关的保险费。藻类大量繁殖是自然现象，但它们可能对养殖鱼类和贝类等海洋动物有害。暴露于藻华的贝类也可能对人类有毒，甚至致命，因此暴露的养殖场被关闭，直到事件过去和清除。这些关闭对业主和保险公司来说都是昂贵的。为了确定实际的保险费，保险业需要一种方法来对可能进行水产养殖的海洋中给定位置的藻华风险进行评分。HARIMAP从卫星和数值模型中获取数据来生成这样的风险评分，该评分可以以地图形式呈现，并与海洋环境的标准地图和图表一起使用。这些产品由SeaZone提供，SeaZone是海洋数据产品的知名供应商。
