The answer is that the algae will block the sunlight and can cause some living animals in the pond die. Also, bacteria will grow, break down everything in the pond, but not the algae, and will get in the oxygen in the water. fishes and other organisms in the water die without fresh oxygen. About the only life that survives is the algae on the surface.
