Digging up 10ys old oaks doesn't sound the best way to get new trees established as may damage roots and oaks are sensitive to tranplanting ? Are you using 2 spiral guards above one another? Any pictures?

Looks abit like a elder to me but surely thats too obvious & it would have berries? Leaves look slighty different than an elder maybe but the dead bit of wood @ rear & growth habit overall looks very elder-ish -

Thats pretty mild syptoms compared with alot of trees in North Wales, seem your are a year behind in the progression of it compared to here.

So maybe they should of repointed the slipway slab joints with some Non-shrink cementitious grout for underwater installation conforming to the requirements of BS EN 1504-3 Class R4? https://www.arconsupplies.co.uk/uploads/pdfs/conbextra_uw_tds.pdf Instead of having trees sprouting between slabs... Also why does the slipway get narrower instead of wider or straight down on the side it failed? Shouldn't it be the other way round?
-
Even the mini is fat nowadays Isn't cars getting wide all to do with encap ratings and side impact airbags etc? Also they have to fit fat people which is the majority now... Also think abit about fashion also.

Why planting alot of trees large enough to need stakes? I reckon smaller trees establish better and after a few yrs will catch up you could you then use bamboo... Durablity depends on if stakes are hardwood or softwood I suppose, some are robina that is suppose to last well...

What inceased maintenace could have prevented the slipway failure?

Same locally, one got a few million £ grant lottery money? but don't seem do that much. Now have atm I think 2 payed employeed that don't seem to do much of anything. Another different one locally had big grants but run up debts and then went bust. Apparently a few favoured local contractors were charging them crazy amounts to do jobs.
