If you wait for string algae to mass up, putting a rough sturdy stick into an open water area where it is thick, rotate the stick at a steady pace and the algae will wind on to the stick
Twirl, and hurl....
For floating sludge, a long stick with rope at both ends can be tossed into the pond and used to pull the sludge to the pond edge. That works well for azolla, when that stuff is gathered to the pond edge and laft to decompose, it somehow knocks itself out through the rest of the pond
