Continent

This dimension groups bodies of water by the continent they belong to. Wikipedia defines a continent simply as "any of several large terrestrial geographical regions," and a sea, lake or river is usually counted as belonging to whichever continent it borders or sits within. Browsing by continent keeps a body of water with its immediate geographic neighbors.
