Weldmesh?


That or a plastic mesh is the more usual solution. Suspended just
below the surface, it can be virtually invisible but still prevent
drowning

That will provide protection for fish from predatory birds but won't
stop drowning - it may even make it more likely if someone gets
entangled.


I can see flexible netting causing that problem, but not a well-fixed
piece of 50mm x 50mm x 3mm weldmesh or a similar strength rigid plastic
mesh. You should be able to walk across the top of the pond on either of
the latter.
