The 2011 Northeast Regional Meeting of the Dragonfly Society of the Americas was held on the Delmarva Peninsula July 14 to Sunday, July 17. The base of operations will be in Dover, Delaware at Delaware State University.
The Delmarva Peninsula includes the state of Delaware, the Eastern Shore (of the Chesapeake Bay) of Maryland, and two counties of Virginia. Except for the northernmost parts of Delaware and Maryland, this is on the Coastal Plain with elevations less than 100 feet above sea level. While the Delmarva Peninsula is largely agricultural, there are numerous state parks and other natural areas that support interesting Odonata populations and distinctive habitats.
