This scatter plot visualizes the Missing Migrants Dataset, with each point representing a single event where the reported date is plotted against the total number of dead and missing. The visualization uses D3 version 5 for scales and formatting, specifically `scaleTime`, `scaleLinear`, `extent`, and `timeFormat`, while rendering as an SVG within a React application. Data is loaded via D3’s `csv` function from a GitHub-hosted CSV file. The circles, axes, and tick marks are all generated using React components, with tooltips showing the formatted date using `timeFormat`.
