If you can put up with enough underwater plants, I would go that route.

Second option (where legal) would be to kill FA with chemicals, then the next few days stock Tilapia in sufficient numbers. They will eat the algae, and when the die in the fall, MANY will be removed from the pond by scavengers, and that will remove many nutrients.

Third option is chemicals and dye to reduce sunlight penetration. That may be an every 2-3-4 week "treat and repeat" process.

Fourth option is mechanically removing FA mats. VERY labor intensive.
