The Secretary of Natural and Environmental Resources of Puerto Rico (Spanish: Secretario de Recursos Naturales y Ambientales de Puerto Rico) is responsible for protecting, conserving, and managing the natural and environmental resources of Puerto Rico.[1][2]

Daniel Galán Kercadó was the Secretary of Natural and Environmental Resources of Puerto Rico under governor Luis Fortuño. At least by 2013 he was no longer Secretary of the DNRA (the Spanish language acronym for the Department).[3]

In 2017 Governor Ricardo Rosselló designated Tania Vazquez Rivera as Secretary of the DRNA.
