i think the media gives newer caprers (im no blaming them at all) and more casual anglers the impression that you need to put 25 spombs in the lake before the fish even start feeding, look at every youtube video released by the big 3, youve got all of them rocking up with either particle - with no instructions for cooking or a huge amount of boilies and lamping it into the lake.
there's less about using a quality bait, a quality prepped particle or using the ''right amount'' of bait for the situation.

The bailiffs´ job should include all of the above, both above and below the waterline, with regular dives to inspect underwater substrate. As for Youtube, leaves me flabbergasted when i see loads of carp with badly damaged mouths, gracing the banks
One would assume that the geezer pushing his barrow, loaded with 1000s of pounds worth of kit, should atleast have some common sense & etiquette, and reasonable knowledge, when it comes down to carp & watercare. Makes me wonder ... smiling, proud angler holding up a "dropsy" for the camera, makes me shudder

Well then you need to pay a team of bailiffs to undertake that work.
Diving in unclear water I disagree with, you get people in for thst or take specialist lessons
At the end of tge day a lot of bailiffs are voluntary, it's be mavolous is venues had tge funds to properly pay appropriately qualified people to manage lakes but in the U.K. atleast they are very few and far between.

One of my waters had a huge fish kill last year on one of the lakes, when drained the amount of bad quality in eaten rotten boilies was ridiculous I've never seen anything like it, EA came down and helped they said the unbeaten bait caused it. They have now put a limit to 2 kgs a day per angler rule now, another place I fish had banned spombing completely

Problem might be more widespread than most are lead to believe If venues can afford to fence the whole lake, then serious attention to the underwater ecosystem should be monitored on a regular basis, without having to cost a fortune. They are protecting an investment that should be kept in tiptop condition, and definately included in the budget.

Trouble is for the most part it's unseen what is happening underwater and therefor given less thought until something happens.
