We discuss changes in the professional styles of federal forest and marine fisheries resource managers. The first section introduces shared characteristics of resource management in the U.S. Forest Service and the National Marine Fisheries Service settings. A second section defines four generic professional styles of line managers—the forstmeister, the specialist, the politician, and the executive. A third section discusses the sequences in which the first three of the professional styles have been historically prominent in forest and fisheries resource management. A fourth section contrasts the contemporary niches of executives in both systems. A final section speculates on the viability of the four professional styles in the near future.
