Pond weeds #833446

Asked June 02, 2023, 6:56 PM EDT

What are these weeds that grow from the bottom to the top of our pond? How do I get rid of them? Pond is 2500-3000 square feet, 2-5 feet deep.

Hello,

The one closeup image is curly-leaf pondweed (Potamogeton crispus). The other images do not provide enough detail for identification. Can you please take additional images of individual plants?
