What is the rat population like on the E shore from OMSI north? I hear it is huge near the grain ship loading docks and tapers off N and S of there. While paddling a kayak in that area I occasionally see dead rats in the water and the odd live one scampering off in the rip-rap. A hazzard?

This leads me to stay South of OMSI on my paddling workouts. Too bad as the little cove behind the Esplanade would be a nice nice spot for speed work. But it's full of debris and the odd dead critter. Yuck.
