A cleaning device for cleaning a marine element towed in water and related methods are provided. The cleaning device includes a body configured to enclose a marine element; at least one wing fixedly attached to the body and configured to impart translational motion to the body when flowing in water; and a keel attached to the body and configured to limit a rotation of the body. The at least one wing is oriented relative to the body so that the cleaning device travels from a head portion toward a tail portion of the marine element when the marine element is towed at an angle less than a triggering angle with a traveling direction of a vessel towing the marine element.
