He then entered the University of South Florida and earned a Master’s degree in the Marine Science program under the supervision of Professor John C. Briggs. After graduating from USF he worked for a short period at Mote Marine Laboratory, Sarasota FL, before entering the graduate program at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science, College of William and Mary, Gloucester Point, VA. After completing his Ph.D., he accepted a post-doctoral position at the Rutgers University Marine Field Station, Tuckerton NJ, and collaborated with Professor Kenneth W. Able. He was then hired the School of Fisheries, Aquaculture and Aquatic Sciences, Auburn University, AL. While at Auburn he rose through the ranks to Professor, and mentored numerous graduate students on studies of various aspects of marine fish ecology. Recently retired as Executive Director of the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council, Stephen A. Bortone now is an Environmental Consultant with Osprey Aquatic Sciences, LLC based in Windham, New Hampshire (USA). As a consultant, he specializes in fisheries and is noted especially as an authority on artificial reefs. Currently, he is also Marine Biology Series Editor with CRC Press.
