==History==
St. Lawrence's economy was primarily based on fishing until the recent collapse of North American cod stock. In 1992, the Canadian federal government implemented a moratorium on cod fishing,〔(Cod Moratorium: Newfoundland and Labrador Heritage )〕 bringing an end to the longstanding industry.
A Fluorspar mine in St. Lawrence was also once a major employer in the community until 1978, when the mine was closed by Alcan. In 2011 Canada Fluorspar Inc. outlined preparations to open a fluorspar mine on the site of the old mine. As of early 2012 construction had begun on a deep water wharf at Blue Beach.
A wind project has recently been initiated by the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador for St. Lawrence. The project has resulted in the installation of nine Vestas V90-3MW wind turbines.
