Donnie, you were just talking to the foremost expert that I know of. Bill is an algae taxonomist (I think I got that right). Send him a PM and inquire about his fees for identifying your algae, and ask him how to preserve the sample when it's sent.

Another way to find the depth of the pond is get a fishing rod, a slip bobber and a weight large enough to sink the bobber. Keep casting and adjusting the bobber until it barely floats, then measure the amount of fishing line from the knot to the weight.
