standards - Are there any international water bodies codes (oceans, seas, etc.)?

As you may know, there are 2 letter international continent codes:

• AF - Africa


• AN - Antarctica



• AS - Asia


• EU - Europe


• NA - North America


• OC - Oceania


• SA - South America

But what about water objects such as oceans, seas and so on? Are there any international codes for these types of objects (alphabetical, numeric)?

If no, are there any unique codes for them within a country?
