Snapper season confusion

I was just noticing that snapper season was closing already. Unfortunately work really picked up this month for me, and the few days I could go, I either couldn't find anyone else to go with me, or the weather was not pretty. Regardless, I didn't get to go.. The thing I don't get about this is from MyFWC..
According to this it is still legal to harvest snapper in state waters.. But there are no snapper in state waters.. if they only extend out 9 miles on this side of the state..3 on the other side.. So I don't get it, why would they extend the time if there is no way to get them?
State waters 44-day season open June 1 through July 14, closing July 15
Federal Waters 28-day season open June 1 through June 28 closing June 29

I may not always agree with what you say,
but I will always respect your right to be wrong!
Sucks if you live outside that area though.
