The Croatian Environmental Agency collects data and processes them in the form of indicators, for the purposes of environmental monitoring and making of reports. Identification of the pressures, collection of data relating to damage and contamination of soil, is a prerequisite for proper development of plans, development strategy for soil protection, as well as for making of monitoring plans.
Although the Soil Protection Law is still in the process of being enacted, the Agency has initiated following projects for the purpose of informing the general public:
Establishment and development of the Croatian Soil Information System (CROSIS)
Establishment of the Potentially Contaminated and Contaminated Sites Database (GEOL)
Institutions conducting in Field Work and/or Laboratory Soil Analysis Database
CORINE Land Cover Database, according to Land Cover methodology
Project: Development of the Croatian Soil Monitoring Programme with a Pilot Project (LIFE05TYC/CRO/000105)
Draft of the National List of Agri-Environmental Indicators of Soil Protection
The thematic areas of pedosphere and lithosphere are covered by the CEA, and also by cooperative institutions.
