EO and GIS services
OIKON is a major provider of comprehensive consulting and research services for the sustainable management of natural resources for both terrestrial and marine environments
Our expertise includes nationwide field campaigns utilizing cutting-edge technology and techniques in Earth Observation and Spatial Analytics for environmental and nature protection.
We can perform extensive, nation-wide field campaigns for relevant data collection where we use Remote Sensing, GIS and geostatistical techniques and technologies (multispectral and hyperspectral satellite imagery, thermal imaging, UAV surveys, SAR image processing, LiDAR).
OUR SERVICES INCLUDE:
Forest management and ecosystem monitoring
Land Use and Land Cover mapping
Support for Smart and Precise Agriculture
Freshwater ecosystem monitoring
Marine natural resource management and habitat mapping
Forest and Game Management Plans, Specialist agricultural inventories and studies
Feasibility studies: biomass, agriculture, forest and SRC
Large-scale biomass and carbon sink calculations
Dendrochronology and dendroecology studies
In the field of Earth Observation and Spatial informatics we specialize in design, implementation and support of information systems focused on environmental and nature protection.
We have completed over 225 Remote Sensing and IT/GIS projects for nature, environment and natural resources management needs, and are present on sea and land, bringing cutting edge technologies to serve nature, environment and sustainable development.
Our work actively supports the EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 and other Green Deal initiatives, aligning our EO activities with European sustainability goals and UN Sustainable Development Goals.
With over 20 years of Earth Observation experience, we have successfully completed numerous projects in forestry, agriculture, and freshwater ecosystems monitoring. We are pioneers in habitat mapping and preservation, creating detailed spatial datasets for both marine and terrestrial environments.
In 2023, we completed a groundbreaking project focused on marine habitat mapping and preservation, marking one of Europe’s most ambitious endeavours in this field. As a leading member of a large consortium, we spearheaded the creation of the official national map of marine habitats covering 51% of the Adriatic Sea under Croatian jurisdiction.

Mapping of Coastal and Benthic Marine Habitats in the Coastal Sea of the Republic of Croatia and Benthic Marine Habitats in the Croatian Epicontinental Belt
The main objective of the project entitled “Mapping of Coastal and Benthic Marine Habitats in the Coastal Sea of the Republic of Croatia and Benthic Marine Habitats in the Croatian Epicontinental Belt” is to map coastal and benthic marine habitats within the national territory of the Adriatic Sea, which includes the coastal areas and the areas of the Exclusive Economic Zone (continental shelf). The aim is to produce a comprehensive map of marine habitats in order to improve the availability of data on marine biodiversity, including the distribution of species and habitats.
The National Map of Marine Habitats launched – a key link in the preservation of the Adriatic Sea
The National Map of Marine Habitats of the Republic of Croatia was officially launched today at the Institute of Oceanography and Fisheries in Split.
