I live on a communally owned and used pond/lake. We are having an algae problem. We are addressing the source of the problem and working towards a long term solution but need to deal with the bloom now. Some have suggested using chemical to kill the algae which is a good, quick fix. My question is; would it be better to physically remove the algae instead? My thinking is that if the algae dies and sinks, it is simply feeding the next bloom. Removing the algae from the water physically removes the nutrients trapped in that plant and takes it out of the ecosystem.
Comments and advise are more than welcome.
