I'm not sure if this is a Giant Hogweed. The plant has purple markings on the stalk, and the stalk is a couple of inches thick.
The plant is located within 16m of a stream.
The plant is just over 1m tall

Spotted four in shallow waters amongst the rocks with the tide out. Sizes varied between 8-12 inches long. Colours were bright green/blue. All four spotted appeared to be releasing sperms to fertilise eggs.
