1. Marine geophysical equipment, comprising a surface covering that comprises surface elements, wherein the surface elements replicate a textural attribute configured to reduce bio-fouling, wherein the surface elements are arranged in a random pattern on the surface covering to provide an undulating surface texture to the surface covering. 2. The equipment of claim 1, wherein the marine geophysical equipment comprises at least one device selected from the group consisting of: a marine seismic source, a marine electromagnetic receiver, a marine electromagnetic source, and any combination thereof. 3. The equipment of claim 1, wherein the surface covering comprises a modification of a surface of the marine geophysical equipment. 4. The equipment of claim 1, wherein the surface covering fully covers the marine geophysical equipment. 5. The equipment of claim 1, wherein the surface covering comprises a coating applied to a surface of the marine geophysical equipment. 6. The equipment of claim 5, wherein the coating fully coats the surface of the marine geophysical equipment. 7. The equipment of claim 1, wherein either the surface elements or the pattern of surface elements replicate the dimensions of scales on shark skin. 8. The equipment of claim 1, wherein the surface elements further comprise parallel ridges and grooves. 9. A method for gathering marine geophysical data, comprising: adapting a surface of marine geophysical equipment so that the surface comprises a surface covering that comprises surface elements, wherein the surface elements replicate a textural attribute configured to reduce bio-fouling, wherein the surface elements are arranged in a random pattern on the surface covering to provide an undulating surface texture to the surface covering; andtowing the marine geophysical equipment through a body of water. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein the marine geophysical equipment comprises at least one device selected from the group consisting of: a marine seismic source, a marine electromagnetic receiver, a marine electromagnetic source, and any combination thereof. 11. The method of claim 9, wherein the surface covering comprises a modification of a surface of the marine geophysical equipment. 12. The method of claim 9, wherein the surface covering fully covers the marine geophysical equipment. 13. The method of claim 9, wherein the surface covering comprises a coating applied to a surface of the marine geophysical equipment. 14. The method of claim 9, wherein the surface covering comprises surface elements in a pattern providing a textural attribute of an uneven surface texture. 15. The method of claim 14, wherein either the surface elements or the pattern of surface elements replicate the dimensions of scales on shark skin. 16. The method of claim 14, wherein the surface elements further comprise parallel ridges and grooves. 17. The method of claim 9, wherein the marine geophysical equipment is an inline position control device. 18. Marine geophysical equipment, comprising a surface covering comprising surface elements in a pattern to reduce bio-fouling, wherein the surface elements are arranged in a random pattern to provide an undulating surface and texture on the surface covering, and wherein the marine geophysical equipment is an inline position control device.
