All rats, in the sense of the word are 'land rats.' There is no species of rat that lives in the sea. Some rats live aboard ships, but are no more 'sea rats' than sailors are 'sea humans.' They do not live in the ocean. There is an animal called a muskrat (Ondatra zibethicu) that is not really a rat at all, but another type of north-american rodent which swims and lives in a semi-aquatic, freshwater environment like a beaver.

In the Redwall book series by Brian Jaqques, the 'sea rats' are no more than regular rats who live aboard ships as pirates.

There is a species of fish called a sea rat, ratfish, or chimaera that lives in the deep sea. Their namesake has nothing to do with their relation to rats.

Why are sea breezes typically strongest during the afternoon?

Sea breezes are strongest during the afternoon because of the temperature difference between the land and sea. As the land heats up more quickly than the sea during the day, the warm air over the land rises, creating a low-pressure area. Cooler air from the sea then moves in to fill this void, resulting in the sea breeze.
