Hate to disagree with you....
But that is the beauty of a GFI it does not need a ground (coming in or
going out)
(They can be used to provide protection in homes that have wiring without
ground)
It watches what goes out on the black wire and compares what comes back on
the white. If there is a "leak" in any of the wiring (a fault to ground) it
"pulls the plug".
The only issue may be how are you alerted if it trips? (e.g.. a heavy rain
storm gets the plugs wetter then usual)
It would be good to have some alarm that your entire pond has just shut
down?

Please use 12/2 WG (with ground). 14/2 will produce too much heat
and possibly burn out if you have a pump pluggage (is that a word?)
Of course, if you don't use WG wiring the GFCI won't work at all.
