1. If possible, prevent any excess nutrients from getting in. For example, fertilizer, eroding soil, fallen leaves, etc.
2. Encourage native vegetation. Aquatic weeds will use up many of the nutrients, which will help "clean" the water and preempt the algae.
3. Get a lake rake & start raking.
4. Aerate to help the pond process the nutrients.
5. If all else fails, spray Cutrine Plus over areas that you want to clear.
An alternative would be to talk to a southern pond expert about fertilizing to create a plankton bloom, which can prevent filamentous algae.
