Default Pond problems?

Its our old pond but this year has a new problem, for the first time in
over 30 years we are getting large quantities of blanket weed, not added
anything to the pond in years nor applied any fertilizer to the bed
behind so I am at a bit of a loss as to why, but perhaps more
importantly what to do to get rid of it or at least reduce the amount.

At the moment I am pulling out large quantities every other day, do I
just keep going and hope I eventually reduce the nutrient levels or is
there a quicker and easier method

I have asked the same question on the plant forum
