Sure looks like FA (filamentous algae) which is present in all ponds to some degree or another.
Go here to the vegetation forums of PB...

FA can be a horrible problem, but it's most always the conditions of the pond/lake not the fact that it's present. Shallow waters, high nutrients, and ample sunlight reaching the bottom are all conditions that promote the slime.
I wonder if your plants are dying back creating some nutrients for the slime to live off of, some partial water changes may help reduce it's growth.
