As a part of that effort we need your help in completing a brief survey (SEE LINK BELOW). If you have questions about the survey please call (Eric Stafne (tel: 601-403-8939) or Jeff Wasielewski (tel: 305-248-3311 x.227 or 305-282-7526). Please fill-in or return the survey by May 31, 2022 (sooner is better). Thanks.  The survey is being done in preparation for a Passionfruit Meeting at the University of Florida
