Here is a great resource for you on managing algae and weeds in ponds: https://naturalresources.extension.iastate.edu/encyclopedia/ponds-managing-algae-and-weeds.
Depending on the size of the pond, you may be able to rake the algae and dispose of it and then work to prevent it from happening again. Planting a buffer around the edge of the pond can help with that. The link above has some good tips.
