I think the pond is one of Cecil's small ones about 0.1 ac. Removing the chara with a rake will give him some good excercise plus it will keep Cecil out of his wife's hair! ROTFLOL!!!!
The raking will not only remove some of the plant biomass but it will disrupt the sediments oxygenating them and release some of the soluable nutrients in the sediments that will maybe stimulate some plankton growth. Raking will also resuspend some sediments to make the water at least temporatily more turbid - shading the Chara that hasn't been removed. Oh the fun of a fish farmer.
