Description

Our audit found that the Puerto Rico’s Department of Natural and Environmental Resources (PRDNER) properly disbursed and used federal funds to support its fisheries in recovering from the impacts of the damages caused by several hurricanes. However, PRDNER was slow in spending funds, as only approximately 7 percent of the total disaster assistance funds have been expended since April 1, 2020.
